(I am very curious to see) What is one thing you use on a daily/ frequent basis that you just can't live without, related to having your VSG surgery?

My Water bottle. I feel like i don't quite get enough Water so i take it with me where ever I go. To the store, shopping, friends. Its one of those Tervis ones with a loop in the lid for easy carrying. I was sleeved 3 weeks ago today. Oh and chapstick, but i carried that around pre-surgery too.

My blender for my Protein shakes, crushes ice like a champ. Me to measure my food. My Water bottles with straws so I get my fluids in every day. My Bento boxes to pack my small portion lunches and Snacks in.

My wheeled backpack. It makes going to the gym easy.

I also heavily use my Water bottles (I have 2 I use the most, and 2 more that serve as backups), my shaker bottle, my nutrabullet, and my polar loop. They are all an important part of maintaining this lifestyle.

Does drinking from a straw bother your stomach at all? My doctor recommended no straws due to extra air entering the stomach.

My kitchen food scale. I use it three times a day. Store bought bottled Water. They help me quickly keep track of my water consumption.

Water bottles - I keep about 5 in the fridge at all times so I always have cold water to drink

food scale - I use it every day
