I was just wondering if anyone has found some awesome tools/gadgets that help us make things a little easier?? You know food scales, measuring devices, etc?? I'll admit that I dont measure as much as I should and this is probably why its so hard to get in my protein recommendation. Anyone got some "CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DEVICES" besides the iphone?? heheh

I bought a bunch of stuff at the Dollar Tree. A 7 day am/pm pill holder, tiny containers with lids, ziplock baggies, chapsticks-those puppies were all over the house and in our vehicles until i discovered EOS, a couple little ramekins to use for baking small portions, , funnels (I take a few sips out of a water bottle then use it to put vanilla protein powder in a water bottle with an orange crystal lite packet-tastes like a creamcicle),

Whoops, accidentally hit send...

Already had a magic bullet and used it quite a bit, had a food scale but rarely use it. A timer is handy-you'll forget to eat believe it or not. My hosp also gave me the 1oz cups to take home. They were great.

Papaya enzymes are amazing-Walmart has them cheap and now even my kids use them when yet had tummy troubles. I always kept a few water bottles by the bed or recliner so I never ran out-got pretty thirsty at night and at 1st it was hard to keep getting in and out if bed. Recliner was my spot during the day, easier to get in and out and felt better to sleep in. speaking of sleep-Also pretty much lived in (for about 6 weeks-until i returned to work) my loose hoodies and yoga pants, warm fuzzy socks and cozy blankets with a pillow tucked close to my tummy. Was always cold!!!

Good luck, oh, and read the post about what all people should know prior to having this surgery (don't recall the name of it right now but I'll come back and post it). :]

Found it!! It's in the Post Op section titled "What newbies need to know". Happy reading and shopping.
