MORE stuff I bought for Gastric Bypass!

I went to the store this morning to grab some bagels for my LAST WEEK of food that I will not eat after surgery... and came home with bags full of things that I found for pre-op and post-op. Truvia sweetener, Gerber Graduates sippy bottle top, sugar free jello, instant coffee for shakes, sugar free Hazelnut syrup, sugar free Hersheys Chocolate syrup, Muscle Milk... just to name a few!

They told me after surgery, I'm not supposed to suck out of a straw or anything...

My husband uses Camelback in the Army. They issue them out for Iraq:)

I'm busy buying too. I can't find chewable or liquid Calcium citrate anywhere!

I got some Biotin to try to prevent further hair loss:(

Yeah, my patient handbook says no straws for the first couple of months. The straw on this camelbak waterbottle is removable so then you can just tip it like a regular bottle. I LOVE IT! I am on a mission for Calcium Citrate TOO!! SO hard to find...

Great stuff! You'll probably find a bunch of stuff post-op that you use more (I know I did) but I loved shopping beforehand to help prepare myself. And I still use all my baby spoons and little plates every single day. That and my Hamilton Beach blender :)

Shopping for all the "stuff" makes me feel prepared and more relaxed about the whole thing. I have entire shelves in my kitchen devoted to my WLS stuff. LOL I will have to take some more video of it.... my boyfriend laughs at me because I have SO much paraphanelia. I have it all organized in little baskets and containers. I am just weird that way I guess. LOL

Yeah - I know how it feels not to be able to chug the water, It drives me nuts, that I have to sip... I tried to chug, and I started vomiting withing seconds...yeah, never chug...
