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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
