Ok, say you were pre-op and had $100 at Amazon to spend, what would you get to help you through all the pre-op and getting to post-op. Exercise equipment? Kitchen tools that help with shakes? Books? what?

Just wondering!

Thanks!

So, like "Cosmo" and "Ladies Home Journal"?

We have a couple of Magic Bullets but we could use new cups. Good idea.

yeah but how much porn can you get for a hundred bucks anyway?

The protein and vitamins I use are cheaper at Walmart. The books I bought aren't really that helpful for WLS.
glorified cook books.

Maybe self help stuff to make sure you erase the food addiction if thats the issue.

maybe a magic bullet.

I found this book to be pretty valuable on showing me what I could expect from all the mental changes that ultimately come from having WLS:

I like the suggestions above. But for Post-Op, I would buy small containers for taking lunches. I like to have lots of "tupperware" type containers for splitting up meals after we cook and keep them that way. (I have a vacuum sealer for stuff that I am freezing and it works great) 3-4 oz containers for taking lunches to work.

So, vacuum sealer and storage containers for me...
