30 Christmas Gifts for Weight loss Surgery Patients

I created a Guide of hand-picked items that would be meaningful and most appreciated for a Bariatric Patient. For me, the gift is a symbol of a feeling. Imagine the person receiving your gift feeling JOY while easing the anxiety of their procedure. Sometimes it's the smallest gestures that have the greatest impact.

In the beginning, there is some downtime where we can't eat or do anything. I created categories titled Cozy Things, Beauty, Kitchen, & Inspirational.

COZY THINGS

(Imagine being uncomfortable for anywhere from 1-4 weeks, think socks with grips on bottom, clothes that are loose and comfy so not to rub on stitches, keeping warm because of loss of insulation and energy)

1. Pudus Socks

Why: Good Grip Socks after Surgery.

2. Ekouaer Loungewear

Why: Comfy and not tight against stitches

3. Kimono Robe

Why: Feels amazing against skin

4. Fleece Throw Blanket

Why: Super Comfy and soft throw

5. Fleece Heated Throw Blanket

Why: It's Soft, warm and heated!

BEAUTY

(Imagine being in bed with dry bothersome skin, think things she could use while resting for recovery like Hand Cream, body lotion, lip balm and self-care items)

6. Body Shop Mango Gift Box

Why: Skin is so Dry Post-op
