Water bottle with a small opening so I can take small sips of Water

small bowls for meals

small spoon and fork - so I remember to eat slow.

another good reminder - I only eat at the dinner table. No more eating at the coffee table or at my desk (or in my car when driving).

My food scale

I also have to use to straws to drink or it's not happening.

My couch - I'm a full time teleworker from home and sitting in a regular chair at the desk doesn't work. The couch with my laptop is much more comfortable.

My Water bottle that I now take around everywhere.

My Fitbit and My Fitness Pal apps along with my weight loss tracker app. They give me a nice visual tracking system and keeps me honest with myself. 2 years later I still use them daily.

Straws- because at almost 2 years post-op I still don't like drinking without a straw

MyFitnessPal- keeps me accountable

Scales- I use two of them every morning- it's a constant reminder that it is very easy to get fat again

BariatricPal- I usually check in here about once a day while I'm at my desk working

Plastic Baggies, Small Dishes- Instead of eating anything right from the container, I always portion things out in bags or little tupperware dishes

I agree on all the Water bottles, but this app is truly a daily help! So many answers and all different questions. At this point it seems like I kinda know my cyber friends ...

We have a lot in common

Happy fourth????????

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
