Post band placement Kitchen must haves



Recommended Posts

I am planning on having my band placed in the next month or two. This month I'm moving out of my house and into my sister's house for approx 6 months while I build a new house. I'm packing up my kitchen right now and realized I should probably ask y'all what kitchen must haves should I make sure to bring to my sister's house. I'm not talking food, but rather appliances. I already put my mini food processor in a box to bring to my sister's house along with a little microwave egg thing to make egg whites. What appliances/kitchen helps could you not live without post band placement??

Items to measure and weigh. Currently using a digital scale, at least two sets of measuring cups, and a set of measuring spoons. Right after surgery my handheld blender for shakes and Soups was very important.

Paring Knife

Chef's Knife

Microplane (zest adds flavor to EVERYTHING)

Wood Cutting Board (solid piece if possible)

6 inch Cast Iron Skillet (propperly seasoned)

2 Regular 8 inch Fry Pans

1 qt sauce pan

Wooden or metal skewers for roasting.

I use Ice Tea spoons and shrimp forks. They are little but have long handles. It makes taking smaller bites easier. Also, during my pre op liquids I was putting everything in the blender.

Small storage containers...you'll have lots of leftovers. (Or, just be ok with tossing stuff.) Blender, immersion blender, masher thing.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
