I am getting sleeved on December 17th and hubby wants me to give him a list of Christmas gift ideas. Is there anything after having surgery that would be good to put on my list? I already have those blender shaker ball bottles and a blender on my list. I don't want to put any kind of clothes since I won't be able to wear them very long at my current size. Any ideas? Thanks!

I was sleeved in November of last year and on my Christmas list was appetizer plates, small forks and spoons, a food scale, a fitness tracker, a bento lunch box, and a large water bottle haha! All have been invaluable to me to this day. Also if you don't already have a good jacket or coat......the smaller you get, the colder you get! Brrrrr! Merry Christmas and good luck with surgery!

If you don't have one already, a mini food processor is really helpful for puree stage:

And Fiesta and Le Creuset both make really cute small ramekins:

I find these absolutely perfect for baking, nuking, or serving my tiny little meals

For blenders, I don't know what you have picked out, but I have found my immersion blender is absolutely the best for ease of use and clean up as well as making Protein shakes without adding a ton of air:

If you don't have a kitchen scale, you should definitely get one:

A heating pad for after surgery -- I loved mine!

Bubba Keg to fill up with ice and Water (or hot fluids) and sip all day, keeps your drinks insulated for hours and hours:

I also received a couple of gift cards for Amazon and iTunes that I used to buy Kindle books, games, and stream movies and tv series while I was recuperating.

Good luck to you!
