What are some products you can't live without? Product, Vitamin, Blender, Portion Control aides, etc...? I am looking for variety! Even if it's not specific to bariatrics... If it made your life easier, cool!

Blenders are great, but you probably won't have much use for one after you're on full foods. No need for purees, and we shouldn't be doing juicing or smoothies because of the carb counts.

I have a Vitamix, we use it a lot (I love making protein soups)... I wouldn't date do fruit juicing. That just makes me dump just thinking about it! I do mostly veggies with fruit to add natural sugar. I have been cleared to go to maintenance phase as I have only 5 pounds to go until I hit my ideal weight.

Itty-bitty dishes and forks. Head to target and look in the baby section, you can get tiny dishes and toddler forks. I got a pack of disposable ones for each, and they've held up for over 2 years.

Heavy-duty vitamins. (NOT Flintstones chewables!) Supplementation is SUPER important, so look for something with at least 100% value for everything.

I've purchased some... Disney Characters and all!

I also take various bariatric vitamins (I don't take gummies or regular vitamins as I know they are filled with fillers and/or sometimes our new bodies cannot digest properly.

I purchased a Phillips Air Fryer about a year ago and I love it.  My oven is rarely used and I can make things in this air fryer that are not actually fried, but have the crispy effect frying gives, without the fat.   I also do turkey burgers in it as well as roasting many of my favorite veggies.   It is one I cannot live without.
