Ideas For Christmas?



Recommended Posts

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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
