2sweetnsugarland 9 Posted June 2, 2011 The best thing I ever bought was a candle warmer [or you can use a coffee cup warmer]. I got mine from Michael's for $3.99. I even invested in some really cute little plates [$1.49] and a tea cup with the strainer and lid [$4.99]. When I microwave my breakfast/lunch/dinner I turn on my mini hot plate and then put my coffee cup or little plate on it and it stays nice and toasty until I finish eating, which everyone knows takes quite a while when you're first sleeved!! I'm at work right now with my chicken and mixed veggies on a pretty little pink plate and everything is still bubbling hot!!! Just thought I'd share!!! Toodles!!!

S311kyra 1 Posted June 2, 2011 That's such a wonderful idea! I'm gonna have to go get one right away! I'm still on pureeds, but even a warm drink that stays warm the entire time it takes to drink it. Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purdy in Pink 57 Posted June 3, 2011 Hi, I'm not quite sure I caught your story right. Did u get sleeved on may 13th? and you are already eating chicken and vegies?. It's only been 3 weeks............i'm only asking not to question you, but I was told 4 weeks of liquids, then another 2 weeks of the soft/puree'd foods and at 6 weeks, starting in on the meats. i'm so DYING for food.....(not the liquid kind either)....your Dr. must have you on a different plan? Love the idea on the coffee cup warmer tho, I'll be sure to use it when i get to that point. best of luck to you!

I haven't had any complications and I'm sailing along with my recovery. I've even started to work out again, just walking and trying to get back up to 3 miles in 45 minutes. I chew up my food really good, I mean like it's gum or something!! I can only eat a very little but it's so good. I contacted my doctor's office and they said if it doesn't hurt do it so I'm doing it! I missed chewing and the weight is still coming off!!! If I don't chew my food really good trust me it hurts like HECK!!! Last night we went to Olive Garden and I got the Zuppa Toscana Soup, no bread or anything and a glass of tea. I ate all my bowl of Soup except for 3-4 spoonfuls but only 5-6 sips of tea. That soup tasted like heaven!!! Good luck to you on your weight loss journey!!

Purdy in Pink 57 Posted June 4, 2011 Hi sugarland, Thanks for the reply back, you are inspirational to me. I actually went and bought some low fat cottage cheese today, I'm hoping I can try it in a few days. I'm scared...hehehe Purdy Hi, I'm not quite sure I caught your story right.
