I have heard that some people find it really helpful to buy small dishes, utensils, cups etc. so that when they eat 1/2 cup of food or what not, it's easy to gauge it and it doesn't look like you are eating so little with it on a big dinner plate or something.

So I was wondering if any of you have done this and what did you buy? Toddler dishes? Smaller versions of adult dishes? I know when I did a pre-op diet for lap band (which I never followed through with getting) I was using toddler spoons to eat things like applesauce or whatever... and drinking from sippy cups.

Would love to hear any experiences/products!

I have several 8 oz custard cups that I use. I need to get some smaller mugs/coffee cups. By the time I get to the end of a warm beverage it is ice cold

I thought this was a pretty interesting way to learn to slow down when you eat.
