My baby utensils...



Recommended Posts

I have gotten so sick of getting stuck and vomiting and the only thing I can say the reason is is that I'm eating too big of bites and eating too fast.

So my solution....Baby utensils...

Walked into my local Wal-Mart went to the baby isle and found these cute little baby spoon, fork, and knife set...

I have been using them so far through out my dinner and not one stuck episode.. Yay Me!

My doctor's office suggested that and they have been great... I have a set in my lunch bag, a set at home, a set in my desk drawer at work, and a set in my purse. It helps me be prepared wherever I go. And mine are Disney, LOL!!!

That is a great idea Charmin!

Also, I was trying to quote you and I accidentally clicked the negative sign...not sure what it means and I can't undo it. :(

I got cocktail forks and demitasse spoons-it was all I could find at Ross, but they totally help! And, no plastic involved.

That's exactly what I got to use...keep one set at work....I like them so much better than the plastic toddler ones!! Makes me feel like a big girl now!! :lol:

I have 2 sets also. one at home and one in my lunch bag !! people at work make fun of me but every week when they see less of me they dont laugh as hard !!! :D

I also use baby plates to eat off of. a local shop writes on them and they are dishwasher safe. so around the rim of a little mermaid plate says one day I will be just as sexy !! LOL

I have a Winnie-The-Pooh toddler plate that has one bigger section and two little sections. I try to use that or a salad plate.

I have everything in small child or baby size. I use small utensils, bowls, plates etc. My co worker who knows I am banded laughed at first when she saw me using all this tiny stuff, but now she is used to it. Using normal sized things is weird now for me

Yep! I use them at home. Real forks are SO huge in comparison! I also eat my meals off a salad plate or a ramikin

Maybe I should try that, but only at home, I would be to embarrassed at work. I know I take to big of bites and don't chew enough. As of right now I have no fill so I have had mo problems getting stuck, but it is something I need to work on

I have been meaning to do just this! I used a baby spoon right after surgery for my yogurts and puddings and it really helped. I have been using a salad plate for my dinner plate and that also helps, but I'm heading to Walmart after work for baby silverware!

I always kept my daughter's (who is now in her twenties...lol) baby spoons and forks in the drawer to use for pickles, olives and cheese trays and such.... they are still in perfect shape and now I use them for eating. I do need to pick up a set to keep at the office.

I also use the tiny rubbermaid containers to bring my lunch to work and use the cocktail sized paper plates to eat on. At home I use a salad plate or small monkey dish to eat off of.

Whatever works is my motto!B)

My surgeon presented me with a beautiful silver baby spoon and fork set (along with some other stuff - Bracelet, pedometer, balloon) the day after my surgery, while I was still in the hosptial. He also gave me a crystal 4oz glass to go with it, so I can measure my portions. He is the best and I was his first!:D

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
