Hello everyone,

I'm scheduled to see a bariatric surgeon coming up in 2 weeks and I'm starting to get excited about having surgery. I was looking around to see if there was anything out there to help me stay on track with portion sizes after surgery. I found a couple of things out there, but the one I like the most is something called the BariBowl. Has anyone heard of this? I'm interested to see what other people think. I found it at www.Bariware.com

Please help!!!

There isnt much worse than a money-making gimmick. Find out from your doctor how much you should be eating and then either invest in a set of cheap plastic portable measuring cups or those disposable storage containers that are that amount and use those. Do you really want to rely on something like that? Taking it out every time you go out to eat instead of learning how to measure on your own? For me, I have learned based on the size of my fist, fingers, palm, etc how much is the right portion for things. I say don't waste your money... Save it for new clothes!

Thanks! I don't think this one is a gimmick. Actually, I went back and looked at it and it looks like it was developed by the bariatric surgeon I am scheduled to see in a couple of weeks. I will check it out when I go to the office and let you know

I think it looks sort of silly, but if you think it'll be helpful to you, go for it!
