Does anybody know were I can find a plate that has the specific porportions for lap band patients. I'm pretty sure I'm eating more than I should.

Get a food scale and a measuring cup! Weigh and measure!

I agree. Get a measuring up. If im not mistaken we are only suppose to be bale to take in a half a cup of food. Walmart have cute half cup and dup containers with the lids on them

As others stated, you need to use a measuring cup (or food scale when you can't use a cup). Even if a plate is the right circumference it won't stop you from piling on too much. Measuring food is the only sure way to make sure you're not getting more than a cup per meal.

I just typed in Bariatric Plate and got a lot of results so they do make a plate with portions on it , just google bariatric plate

I use an Ice Tea spoon and shrimp fork. There much smaller but they have a long handle so no one else notices your tiny flatware. Yes, I take them to restaurants.

i was told to eat about a cup of food (protein first, then veggie and fruit)...

i am sure if i tried i could eat more then i am suppose to but just because i can

doesnt mean i should....def get a scale and measure and def ask your dr or nutritionist

if you are concerned or just need a refresher ...as for plate, i use a small salad plate and sometimes a coffee cup saucer

Once I did see one on a web site but don't recall and it was not cheap, maybe $20-$30.

Thanx everyone! I will get me a scale and check out that website for the plate!
