Ideas For Christmas?



Recommended Posts

I am getting sleeved on December 17th and hubby wants me to give him a list of Christmas gift ideas. Is there anything after having surgery that would be good to put on my list? I already have those blender shaker ball bottles and a blender on my list. I don't want to put any kind of clothes since I won't be able to wear them very long at my current size. Any ideas? Thanks!

I was sleeved in November of last year and on my Christmas list was appetizer plates, small forks and spoons, a food scale, a fitness tracker, a bento lunch box, and a large water bottle haha! All have been invaluable to me to this day. Also if you don't already have a good jacket or coat......the smaller you get, the colder you get! Brrrrr! Merry Christmas and good luck with surgery!

If you don't have one already, a mini food processor is really helpful for puree stage:

And Fiesta and Le Creuset both make really cute small ramekins:

I find these absolutely perfect for baking, nuking, or serving my tiny little meals

For blenders, I don't know what you have picked out, but I have found my immersion blender is absolutely the best for ease of use and clean up as well as making Protein shakes without adding a ton of air:

If you don't have a kitchen scale, you should definitely get one:

A heating pad for after surgery -- I loved mine!

Bubba Keg to fill up with ice and Water (or hot fluids) and sip all day, keeps your drinks insulated for hours and hours:

I also received a couple of gift cards for Amazon and iTunes that I used to buy Kindle books, games, and stream movies and tv series while I was recuperating.

Good luck to you!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
