charley27 164 Posted May 21, 2016 Are there any items (not necessarily food) that have been very helpful? For example, calorie tracker, step counter, big enough water bottle, containers to help with Portion Control, something to help with Protein, anything else? THANKS!!!

PixelToph 46 Posted May 22, 2016 I'm a little over 3 weeks post op. The things I am finding the most useful: - food scale. Get used to measuring everything. - Immersion blender. You will be drinking lots of Protein shakes. I had been using a shaker bottle, but the immersion blender is so much easier and makes the shake smoother. - 4 oz containers. Has 2 uses. First, makes it easy to make sure I'm eating the right amount. Second, my portion of food fills the container, which for some reason makes me more satisfied with the meal. Even though 4oz easily fills me up, it was depressing to see my tiny portion of food in a big bowl. It made me feel deprived even though I wasn't hungry. Brains are weird! - Tiny spoon & fork. Helps make sure I eat slower and take smaller bites. - 32 oz Water bottle with measurements on the side. Makes it easier to keep track of Fluid intake.

P7rancher 27 Posted May 22, 2016 I really appreciate this topic, looking forward more replies. The Yeti vacuum stainless steel drink cups are excellent at keeping drinks hot/cold, your choice. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
