List of things for making life post op easier?
for soon after surgery, a small thermos. I found that eating so slow made anything hot I was eating go stone cold. The thermos made a huge difference.

Did you eat soups as well as other things right out of the thermos? Wondering if I should get one, intrigued by this.

I really like the Glad 1/2 cup size containers. I use them all the time. When I was early out post-op I made a ton of soup and chili, portioned it in those and froze them. I always use at least 2-3 for my lunches - nuts, cheese whisps, bacon jerky -- all portioned out. They drive DH crazy because he will open the freezer to a container avalanche ;)
Good morning
I personally have always forgotten the vitamins etc. Now I have bought a pillbox - organize the whole pills once a week and fortunately forget nothing anymore. In the morning the right box in to the purse and in the office on the desk and voila.
I would also like to apologize if my English sounds a little rough now and then - but my mother tongue is German and my English is anything but perfect.
Me tooo!! I have been looking for something that is easily transportable but also doesn't look like a tackle box lol.
