2sweetnsugarland 9 Posted June 2, 2011 I posted this in the Post Op section but I wanted to put it here too!! 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!!!

Rootman 1,101 Posted June 2, 2011 Good idear! I was actually thinking of about the same thing although I was thinking of a mug warmer - bet they're the same thing, probably only the labels are different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wishes 125 Posted June 3, 2011 Huh, that is just brilliant. I am definitely picking one of those up before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juzmejnee 9 Posted June 3, 2011 i will be getting one too!! do you use any special kind of plates or cups? THANKS for sharing!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2sweetnsugarland 9 Posted June 3, 2011 i will be getting one too!! do you use any special kind of plates or cups? THANKS for sharing!! Nothing super special. I live in Texas and we have alot of Chinese stores here. I went to one and bought me a really cute tea cup with a lid and strainer for $4.99, and 2 small plates, almost the size of salad plates for $3.99 each. The bottom part fits perfectly onto the warming part of the candle warmer and it keeps my food nice and hot. Just something really cute that would make me happy while I'm eating. I know I don't have to tell you how long it takes to finish a meal!! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
