(I am very curious to see) What is one thing you use on a daily/ frequent basis that you just can't live without, related to having your VSG surgery?

My Water bottle. I feel like i don't quite get enough water so i take it with me where ever I go. To the store, shopping, friends. Its one of those Tervis ones with a loop in the lid for easy carrying. I was sleeved 3 weeks ago today. Oh and chapstick, but i carried that around pre-surgery too.

Giant water cups and protein shake cups and blender!!! My shakes and water I sip on all day!!!!

My food scale. At 8 months, I still measure my food regularly.

my straws they are the reason I'm able to get my Protein in and other liquids

Water bottles and small dishes. I have a small Japanese rice bowl I use for cottage cheese, yogurt, tuna, etc.

Pillows and lots of them to get comfortable. I'm 2 wks out.

My blender for my Protein shakes, crushes ice like a champ. Me to measure my food. My Water bottles with straws so I get my fluids in every day. My Bento boxes to pack my small portion lunches and Snacks in.

My Fitbit Charge HR.

My wheeled backpack. It makes going to the gym easy.

I also heavily use my Water bottles (I have 2 I use the most, and 2 more that serve as backups), my shaker bottle, my nutrabullet, and my polar loop. They are all an important part of maintaining this lifestyle.

my straws they are the reason I'm able to get my protein in and other liquids

Does drinking from a straw bother your stomach at all? My doctor recommended no straws due to extra air entering the stomach.

Not at all mama my doctor said it was ok to use it and that a lot of his patient it was easier to drink protein with a straw.. I been using it from like 4 weeks post op I'm 3 months post op now and no problem!!

Water bottle and my fitbit

My kitchen food scale. I use it three times a day. Store bought bottled water. They help me quickly keep track of my water consumption.

Water bottles - I keep about 5 in the fridge at all times so I always have cold water to drink

Food scale - I use it every day
