Hi All.

Has anyone created a tool kit? I am putting together a post-op "Help me to succeed kit", I was wondering what you may have in yours.

So far I have:

A food scale, measuring cups, measuring spoons, small plates and bowls, small utensils, 2 oz oxo tot storage/freezer containers, blender bottle, a gostak with 4 compartments, a good bathroom scale, lip balm, ear plugs and eye mask (for hospital), new notebook to start journalling success, squatty potty and spray (on order should have soon).

Any and all suggestions are welcome and I would love to hear what you have/had/will have in your kit.

Cheers!

Wow we sound a lot alike, I am 47, 5'4 (much heavier than you though), mother of 1 amazing son (25 years old), and two wonderful cats.

Yes I am trying now to get little by little as I know the vitamins and opti are going to hit the pocket book so I don't get hit all at once.
