What kitchen gear helped you through your WLS journey



Recommended Posts

Oo! Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for--a good (and affordable) scale.

I adore my food scale. What I like best about this one is you can easily switch between ounces and grams. Once I got it through my head that serving sizes almost always list a volume AND a weight, it was amazing how much easier things became for me. Rather than having to measure out a 1/2 cup of refried Beans, just put a bowl on the scale and put refried Beans in it until I get to whatever weight it lists. For me, it's just so much easier to measure by weight than by volume.

These are all great!! Thank you! I'm happy to see a couple things I already have. Did NUT classes teach you how best to weigh/portion/track/calculate your nutritional info?

the nutri ninja has been my savior at home, if you sign up on the bed bath beyond site you can get a 20% off coupon and if you time it right you can get one for a very good price i got mine for 74 dollars,

nd at work i use this, cheap at Amazon and works great.

but not to go off point but absolute staples that have made my life easier, are sugar free cool whip, not lite or fat free but sugar-free, and sugar-free pudding and Jello.

I think Bento Boxes are going to be lifesavers and I am really hoping to find some good freezer meal ideas--so far I've really liked the recipes from Eggface and the Protein Chef.

Thanks! I'm hoping the magic bullet I have is going to work for me (still in the box), especially in the first few stages. Have you seen some of the homemade whipped cream recipes from Life According to Eggface?

yea those arent sugar free though and still require heavy whipping cream, i stay away from sugar completely, at some later date i will re-introduce a lesser amount of some sugars in my diet but in this easy way out to use the sugar free cool whip, it just works for me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
