I’ve slowly been working on purchasing some things to help make my life easier after the surgery. These are tools to help me as I work on changing my eating habits.
Small Plates
I have gotten some tiny appetizer plates and then some dessert/salad plates. I wanted pretty plates so I can feel they are special. With smaller plates, the amount of food I eat will take up more room and won’t leave the plate looking empty…
Small Utensils
Same sort of idea here. With tiny forks and spoons, I won’t be able to eat as much. This will help me with portion control. I bought some appetizer forks and spoons since I wasn’t able to find toddler utensils I liked.
Small Containers
For my meals.
Plastic Jello Shot Containers
I wanted some really small containers for when I’m early post-op. I plan to use these to help me figure out what I can eat in a meal to start with. I may also use them to keep track of my water intake. I might set up goals for my water--like one of these every 30 minutes throughout the day. I liked the jello shot ones because they were the right size, and they have lids!
I also bought some protein powder and ready to drink protein drinks to have on hand. I will need to get some sugar-free popsicles and broth before my surgery. Things are moving forward!
