After gastric sleeve surgery, what was your best appliance to prepare foods? My sister has already purchased the baby food pure’ machine with the bags for me. Is there anything else You would recommend I should prepare to purchase?

I like my crock pot slow cooker. I use it for my Soups and chili.

One vote for my Nutriblend also, just don't let my Crock pot hear, it has seniority after all!❤

My blender for my Protein Shakes and to puree things like Soups (in the early days), and my kitchen scale are things that I use daily. Slow cooker gets used often for soups, stews, and cooking meats to a tender consistency (think pulled pork, chicken, etc). Before my surgery, I read many people talk about stocking up on their 4oz food storage containers, but I didn't get it until after. I use them daily to portion out my prepped food. I have a dozen of them and they're always being used.

And I'm planning on saving up for an air fryer. I can see that being super useful in the future.

I have an AirFryer and it's truly a game changer! Makes Brussels sprouts the crispiest (if that's a word!) I've ever tasted! Yum. When I think of all those years deep frying, I shudder!

Not an appliance, but I got a great small (5") cooking pan - steep sides, well made, non-stick. Given the amounts I can eat, it is SO much easier to cook in - especially if I'm doing an egg or any kind of sauce. I kept looking for one where I live, but ultimately found it when I visited a friend in Europe.

Awesome responses! thank you everyone. I have all of the above. I was thinking of getting a mini Bullet but not sure if it will be useful. I love my air fryer and crock pot and use them frequently. I have the little cups that came in my box of containers that I buy for my kids to take their lunch for work. I just got a new pan set that has the pan that you discussed. So I think I’m good there. 😊

That’s my next purchase.. there is so much you can do with it. My crock pot is getting old so that’s what I’m replacing it with.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
