Everyone I personally know says thrift stores and yard sales until you are farther along and holding sizes longer. Also there are many clothing subscription companies advertised now. I personally think it's odd, but it's an idea.

Any time i have gone i need my own pillow or at the very least a soft comfy pillow case. The stiff scratchy ones they have are so uncomfortable! -
You look amazing! I can imagine how freeing and fun it is now having so many choices when it comes to clothes. Can't wait to feel that! Enjoy 😀

I was also told that Isopure clear protein drinks aren't bad either. I think they r 40 grams per 20 oz bottle.

A friend gave me a tip of adding fat free powdered milk to any shakes or milk to increase the protein so it's easier to meet protein requirements during the post surgery period when u consume very little.

The only meat i plan to puree is chicken or turkey for "chicken salads" Will do hard boiled eggs like that as well. I can't imagine it any other way. I have had friend do meats in fat free gravy or in with potatoes etc. Doesn't sound appetizing to me. -

So far I have bought my kitchen scale, New measuring cups, small 4 oz containers to prepare and freeze portions of soups etc. A vitamix blender, a mini chopper. I bought sampler packs of protein drinks from 2 different companies. A few 4 packs of different brands and flavors of ready to drink protein. Silicone molds for broth and soups. Still have a list of items to pick up (overkill, I know) Oh and 2 books. -
I am so glad you commented. It's nice to have someone post surgery to inspire us. I'm excited to see your progress, good luck!
