Are You Buying Anything Special?



Recommended Posts

Aside from a food scale and measuring cups, have y'all seen any other tools that might be useful post-op? Today the Hubs and I went shopping and I was amazed to see how much a measuring cup of 1/4 cup of food is. Crazy!

I'm planning to get a magic bullet a couple of weeks after surgery. I've heard mixed reviews, though so I'm not completely sold. Have any experience with those?

I bought a cute four piece set of "condiment" bowls for my food so it doesn't look ridiculous in regular bowls they are 4oz so it makes it easy to use

And a set of demitasse spoons and forks

I did buy a magic bullet for my purée stage( it worked fine even with meat) but I don't really use it anymore... My son loves it thought and if you using powder Protein it would be handy ( I buy pre made shakes)

The bowls are the best buy and spoons I still use them after 3 months. :)

Where did you buy the demitasse spoon & fork set at, if you don't mind my asking? I saw one somewhere before and didn't save the link. Googling it just brings up the spoon/saucer combo. :(

I got lucky and found mine at kohls around the holidays. A lot of people buy baby spoons and forks those are probably easier to find.

If you look under appetizer spoons and forks places like crate and barrel carry them and small bowls too!

I got the Ninja Pulse. It whips up shakes and frozen drinks, and it also food processes. It comes with 3 tumblers, sip lids, the blade for the tumblers, a bigger mixer pitcher, and a lot of other junk. I have had a Magic Bullet for a couple years and it recently broke. I decided to go ahead go with the Ninja. Both work well. The Ninja just has some featured the MB didn't.

Funny, I saw the Ninja yesterday and told my husband that maybe we should get that instead of the Magic Bullet. Still thinking about it. Do you like it better.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
