I'm trying to get everything bought that I'll need post-surgery (surgery date 4/25!) and am looking at things like pill organizers (I'm trying out the MedCenter 31-day pill organizer now), cooking tools for steam/purée, a more accurate scale, and more.

Did you have anything that was a real convenience or lifesaver for you in terms of tools?

Thanks in advance!

I'm in Memphis too! Who is doing yours? I went to St. Francis. I didn't really use anything different kitchen tools wise. I just stocked up on Protein powder/drinks and sugar free popsicles.

I did get a bunch of those ziploc plastic containers. They have the small ones that hole 4 oz and that's I measured meals once I got to that stage. I put my yogurt, eggs, etc in them and grabbed and headed out the door.

Somebody else in Memphis - yay! St. Francis here too - Dr. Wegener. How long ago was your surgery and how was your experience there?

The small containers are an awesome idea! I didn't realize those were 4oz... super helpful in getting a better idea of portion. Thank you!
