What items have you purchased PRE OP to help you be successful in your WLS Journey?

*please share any of the items/brands/flavors that you would recommend purchasing ex: blender bottles, Protein powders, scar tape, and fitness trackers

Portion control is a huge hurdle for me as you may have heard me discuss binge eating habits in previous posts. Yesterday, I purchased several items that I think will be useful in helping me be mindful of proper portion sizes. I wasn't sure how to upload pictures of my purchases, but you can see all of the items that I picked up here: sugar free Raspberry Syrup, and five quarted strawberries to make 9 mini pops that were the perfect Thumb Size portion with only 14 calories and 3 grams of protein. This mold differs from anything you would find in the Dollar Store because it's very easy to use. You don't even need to run the molds under warm Water before pulling out the popsicle. This item would be great for anyone immediately post op!

I'm a self proclaimed shopaholic so I'm looking forward to reading about other items that you recommend purchasing. If you have found a product, brand, or flavor of an item that you're in love with, please post it here!

I agree I think it is very important to start shopping for your items, early, I have purchased and tried different protein shakes and I love sams club premiere a well as grape frost from isopure, i have purchase a food scale, measuring cups, scale, vitamins, baby plates, and spoons, blender, as well as today I purchase collaspse measuring spoons.

Not much to add, but I loved your video!

Susan, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on the video. I noticed that you used Dr. Aceves. In my mind, when I hear or see his name, I think of him as a celebrity among the bariatric doctors. It's really amazing how many people throughout the Facebook, YouTube, and message board community have used him. I've heard so many good things (including that his assistant is very hot) that I have doctor jealousy!
