Ooohhh favorite home products! I have many! :D

I love the lavender vanilla downy dryer sheets and fabric softner.

I'm a big fan of Origins room spray.

Must have huge bath towels, I have a whole closet full of towels so big I can wrap them around me once and a half!

Love The Good Home Company household cleaning supplies.

Have lots of soy candles everywhere. I like making my own but when I buy them, I always get Archipelago Botanicals. Pricey but soooo worth it.

Love my Hoover Floormate.

Also, love Perfect Glass for cleaning mirrors and glass tables. Nothing works quite like it.

I love Max Factor Stretch and Separate mascara...I hate clumpy lashes that look like dead spiders, and this gives me long lashes that aren't clumpy!

MaryB - Got the Sonicare. Where did you find travel jewelry cleaner, I need some of that.

Walmart Jewelry Department sells the travel jewelry cleaner. It comes in a red tube with a brush built into lid. Very thick, brush on and rinse off.

Home Products:

Everything Pampered Chef especially my new Professional Cookware!

PC Lemon Rosemary liquid Soap smell great, I wash my hands & my dishes with it.

Purple 409 cleans and shines everything!

My Shark Cordless Vacuum is also one of my favorites. Light weight, recharging stand, and picks up everything from cat litter to cat barf.

Bounty Fun Prints Paper Towels with Kitties on them

Hoover Floor Mate for cleaning tile and wood floors...never used it myself, but my housekeeper loves it!

Litter Maid Automatic Cat Pan Cleaner. No more messy stinky litter box.

Northern Double Roll Toliet Paper. I buy it by the big case!

All Sizes of Zip Lock Bags

Glad Press in seal... no more Saran Wrap for me!

Glad Handle Tie Kitchen trash bags...no other brand has been able to beat these for me.

banana Boat Suntan Lotion... Love the smell.

Listern Breath Strips...for the gross taste I have had in my mouth since being banded.

That Lazy Susan think that holds different size plastic container with the lids. I love this!

Anything Longenberger!

I forgot about Laundry products:

I was making my own laundry detergent for several years , but I got too busy to make it.

I now use ERA. I get it at Sam's Club in a big jug with a cool pour spout. Fast and easy.

I have always used Downey. I got a big jug with a cool pour spout on this one at Sam's once. I saved the jug and pour the new bottles into it now.

Dishwasher Soap - it is a small square with a pearl in the middle. Can't remember if it is Cascade or Electrosol....Sam's in big container.

I couldnt live without my Hoover Floormate! I have an entire houseful of hardfloors and barely any carpet, I hate carpet. Its such a massive job to wash the floors and they go streaky with an ordinary mop.

Homewise, I'm big on organic non chemical products. My current faves are awesome:

The bathroom spray smells like coconut suntain oil, and the all purpose one is really peppermint-y, and the smells linger and are really divine.

I also got addicted to Sportwash which I had to buy online from the USA. We did totally cloth diapers for Eliza and its an amazing world out there. There are so many incredibly gorgeous work of art cloth diapers that were so much fun to use. Sportwash leaves no residue in your clothing, so is awesome for diapers, particularly hemp ones, which can start to repel if you use things like fabric softner

www.luxebabydiapers.com

www.verybaby.com

were two of my faves. I reckon I spent thousands on nappies for Eliza but it was really fun.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
