tigermom12 34 Posted December 5, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolanz 1,484 Posted December 5, 2013 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!

Bufflehead 6,358 Posted December 5, 2013 If you don't have one already, a mini food processor is really helpful for puree stage: http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-DLC-2ABC-Mini-Prep-Processor-Brushed/dp/B0000645YM/ And Fiesta and Le Creuset both make really cute small ramekins: http://www.fiestafactorydirect.com/c-108-ramekin.aspx?pid=207 http://www.amazon.com/Le-Creuset-Stoneware-Stackable-Caribbean/dp/B008JCGHGC/ 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: http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CSB-75BC-2-Speed-Immersion-Blender/dp/B00ARQVM5O/ If you don't have a kitchen scale, you should definitely get one: http://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Digital-Kitchen-Silver/dp/B001N07KUE/ A heating pad for after surgery -- I loved mine! http://www.amazon.com/Sunbeam-2013-912-XpressHeatHeating-Extra-Large/dp/B005NZ66KU/ Bubba Keg to fill up with ice and Water (or hot fluids) and sip all day, keeps your drinks insulated for hours and hours: http://www.amazon.com/bubba-34-mug-classic-plum/dp/B008G0SMAQ/ 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.
