Just thought I'd get a thread going to find out what everyone's top or favorite products have been post wls.  I'm one of those people that once I find a gem in a product, I can't seem to do without.  Because I'm pre-op, mine seem to be non-wls related, but thought I'd still share  I'd love to know how yours changed pre-op to post-op

Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara
Dove Regenerating Night Lotion (Have to order this on ebay now - but I'll do whatever I can to get it!)
Pure Cashmere Hand Soap by SoftSoap
Walmart Brand Cherry Limeade Sugar Free drink mix
Burts Bees Lip Balm
Canadian Style Bacon English Muffin Smart Ones Sandwich
and finally last, but not least... my black comfy pants =)

For me............

Jewelry (I never wanted to add anything to draw attention to myself pre-op)

Belts....now that I can actually wear them

Buying panties individually and not in Mega packs of granny breifs at walmart!

Uggs......(by far my favorite!)

Lip Gloss .....my current fav is the lime shimmer one I got at Bath & Body

Draw string Scrub pants!  the draw sting ones never fit me pre-op and those elastic things were AWFUL to wear!

Clinique Free Gift time! Woo Hoo. I always wait to buy my essentials like powder, mascara, et****il it's the free gift time!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!

What a cool thread! Sort of like the PA Forum's version of Oprah's favorite things!

Here are a few of mine:

Egyptian cotton sheets from costco - 600 thread count
Wigwam wool socks for my cold feet
Olay Regenerist serum (a pre surgery favorite too)
Sonicare toothbrush (a must have)
L'Oreal double coat mascara - pre surgery I had given up all eye makeup - now I want to look my best more of the time
Revlon lipstick in Berry Rich - looks great with or without other makeup on
Lands End workout pants
Powerade Zero grape flavor - this has replaced my lifetime diet Pepsi addiction
Greek yogurt
Bariatric Advantage calcium lozenges - cinnamon flavor
My cute insulated lunch bag from Target
CVS cocoa butter lotion - smells good and feels great, use it on my abdomen every day
On a little different note: Purex laundry sheets (simple, simple, simple!)
