Oh man! I don't know why I haven't done this before but I finally bought something to keep food warm while I ate it and got down a whole scrambled egg and it stayed warm! I was so sick of cold meats and eggs and would eventually just give up halfway through once the food got too cold. Blech!....

I got a candle warmer / coffee cup warmer and set my plate on it and wha-la! Here is the one I got in case anyone is interested. (It has a larger surface so it heats a little larger surface.) broth warm in between very slow sips.)

I'm just about to order a couple more of those. I've had one at my desk at work for my coffee, because a vendor gave us these wonderful mugs that are so big it would get cold before I could finish it. Now I'm getting one for my desk in my home office (I work from home twice a week) and next to my living room chair.

I think I am going to get one for work too. I wanted to try it out and can't believe I waited so long! Again, sure could have used that with broth in the early phase when I could only barely sip and it would get cold. Blech. Cold broth. Makes me shiver just thinking about it....

I have that . I used it post-op. It works like a charm.
