Electrolytes
Adding Electrolyte Powder to water is a good way to replenish the fluids you lose during surgery, as well as the loss of sodium that happens when you are eating the lower carb pre-op and post-op diets. (Check with your primary care doctor if you are on any kind of sodium restrictions).
Ultima Replenisher has a 4 Flavor Variety Pack that is sugar free - 20 Count for only $15.99 https://amzn.to/3u7ZNPQ
An even better deal is JUNP Hydration Electrolyte Powder Variety Pack with 18 Count for only $15.16 https://amzn.to/3ARDq57
3. PORTION CONTROLIt's always suggested that Weight Loss Surgery patients use smaller plates, bowls and utensils. It's been proven in study after study that by using a smaller plate your brain registers the full plate as being "enough". When using a larger plate and small portions there's too much "space" and your brain registers that space as "not enough".
Ramekins
We like to use ramekins as a multi-purpose dish. These Dizada Ramekins are a perfect 3 ounce size and you get 8 of them for only $14.17 https://amzn.to/3EKKzFj
To-Go Container
Using snack compartments for your lunch on the go is a good way to use up your left overs from the night before. These cute little containers fill the bill: Carrotez 2 Compartment "Snack" Containers - 2 Pack $13.59 https://amzn.to/3GR9vgW

Slow your eating down by using small utensils. Ansukow has a cute little travel utensil set for only $6.39 https://amzn.to/3ARqe03
4. MISCELLANEOUSListening to a Book or a Podcast is a great way to walk or exercise. It really keeps you going, especially when you are getting a bit tired. Audible is a good place to have some fresh listening options - https://amzn.to/3VcCCzG
