A wonderful hot plate for sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I ran across a wonderful product while on Amazon.com. Because it takes awhile to eat meals, I ordered this hot plate (after reading the reviews). It is a wonderful product. Just two minutes in the microwave and it keeps your plate hot while you eat! I love it, especially for eggs!

Funny that nearly 6 months out I was eating my dinner the other night wondering if I was the only sleever tired of eating cold food that wasn't meant to be cold or if maybe everyone else had some secret to keeping their food warm for 20- 30 minutes while eating :)

I am not sure exactly. Every surgeon is different in preparation for surgery. You will need to check that out with your surgeon or nutritionist. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Thats great. I keep mug warmers all over my house because I drink a lot of hot tea so I might have to pick up one of these plate warmers. Great idea.

What kind of mug warmer do you use?

I bought Mr. coffee ones at Target. I had to go to multiple Targets to get all three because they seemed to have only carried one at each store but luckily they are everywhere like Starbucks lol. Ive been using them since day 1 and Im 5 months out. They REALLY keep beverages warm, not just luke warm but VERY warm so thats nice. I use mugs for Soup since I cant eat that much and it works great to keep my Soup warm too.

http://www.target.com/p/mr-coffee-black-mug-warmer/-/A-10210650 Target has them for 13.99. I wouldve bought them online cheaper but really really needed one and didnt have time to order.

http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Coffee-MWBLK-Mug-Warmer/dp/B000CO89T8 Amazon has them for 9.99

Or Bed Bath and Beyond should have them and you can use your 20% coupon.

My Tervis Tumbler will keep my coffee HOT for about three hours. It will also keep my drink ice cold for about the same, even in the summer. They are pricey, but worth it. I have one for my Protein Drinks and another for my water/crystal light. And yes, I bring them both into the car as I travel a lot for work and am on my pre-op. :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
