Thus far, I have "collected" a few things to be sure I have them after surgery (if that is part of what you are asking with your question) These are all things I have gotten based on suggestions I have read here:
I have little spoons (like baby spoons, to help with smaller bites, but still feel like I am eating "normally")
A baby formula travel container that has three sections (plan to use it to take protein powder with me in my purse)
protein powder samples (I went to mybariatricpantry.com and purchased a few sets of samples as well as one other website I can't think of at the moment)
I made sure to locate my heating pad
a camelbak bottle, so i can sip all day long
I am still looking for (and happy to hear suggestions on) the following:
a good liquid vitamin
any suggestions for the most "flavorless" protien powder would be very helpful.
SF puddings
....and I am sure I will think of others!
All of the Jello brand SF puddings are delicious and you can probably add protein powder to them after they thicken.

I'm in a stall for almost a month and I am getting really frustrated. I just gotta get back to the basics. I have gotten down to 210.6lbs 3 weeks ago and now I hover up and down at 212.4lbs. When is this scale going to move in the right direction?? Still LOVE my sleeve, but I'm disappointed that I won't reach my goal by December :(
