Hey all, what cool gifts did you get for Christmas to help with your post-surgery life?

I got a 30 oz Yeti, blue tooth ear buds, and a blue tooth scale. I also got some cashola -- I think I'll buy Tespo with it.

Hi sweetie! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I got these (3) each:

I'm so excited I want to freeze all the things. All. The. Things!

Are you having bariatric surgery or a baby?

Those small serving freezer containers are actually a really good idea!

I got the Ninja!

I like that Ninja -- the one with the food processor and spiralizer?

I'm almost through my second 30 oz water. Now, I consider myself to be a daily water drinker, but today has been a real eye opener -- 64 ounces requires concerted effort (and I can gulp as I am 2.5 months pre-surgery)!!!

Ok, I’ve been thinking about getting a Tesco, but the monthly vitamin disks are $40 each! Do you think it’s worth it? Let me know, please. I’m very interested.

Oops. I meant Tespo.

I just ordered the Tespo with the bariatric women's formula. I should get it in early January. I got mine for 50% off at gettespo.com.

I sent my surgeon's dietitian an email to see if the composition of the vitamins in the Tespo packs is OK with them -- it is markedly different than their one approved liquid vitamin (nutrametrix).

Yes! Code is "Gimme50"

I did not get any bariatric specific items, I got quite a few last year ahead of my surgery, but my Dad gave me cash so I could pick out the fitbit I want so I will be doing that.

I got a lot of clothing and it's nice because I desperately need it, I'm now moving into a small/medium and it's so cold here sweaters were a big hit for me!!

Nice job on needing new clothes! I stopped buying myself clothes after intro WL seminar -- miss new stuff!!

I got a thumbs down on Tespo vitamins for now -- not enough information out there yet. I'll have to go old school and dump a capful of liquid into a cup with 2 oz. water -- so old school, the horrors!! LOL

I have no problem using pills. Wait until you see if pills are fine for you. I find sales on vitamins all the time at cvs and Walgreens-so cheaper

@Apple203 I have been using chewable multivitamins from Bariatric Advantage. My dietician told me that right after my surgery to grind them and sprinkle it on my applesauce (worked great!) and now I cut them in half and eat them that way. I eat 2 tablets daily and they taste pretty good.

I'm having surgery next week. I got some unflavored protein powders, Bariatric Advantage chewable vitamins, vitamin patches and comfy clothes for the days after surgery. Plus a few gift cards for new clothes when I need them.
