http://www.ezweightplate.com/ this one has measurement cups in the plate..

There are a lot of different types of Portion Control plates, but I have not found one that list Protein as the "big section". Most label the big section for vegatables. My personal plan is to buy a dainty plate (something pretty, just for me) to use as my portion control plate.

I just bought myself matching small plates, so my husband has "Daddy plate" and I have "Baby plate" - but since they are the same style, I don't feel so different (other people may disagree and find me very different, LOL)

As for portions of the individual food groups, I am still doing the "All the Protein that fits in, and top it off with a little greens and carbs"

My doctors office gives up a paper that has portions and it give you an idea of what your plate should look like. It's the size of a salad plate, which I eat off of every day now. If you message me, I can email it to you...:)

I have seen people use, children plates with dividers. Also tupperware has some portioned, microwavable containers. Amazon has great disposable plates. Also you can go have some fun, find a place where you can paint your own pottery, make your own design and divisions, then they burn/glaze it for you. Good luck!

I went and bought a bunch of very small plates from IKEA for about a buck a piece or some ridiculous small price. They are very pretty, I bought 5 of all different colors... I just keep in mind to eat a portion of Protein the size of a deck of cards. I get a very small amount on non white carbs and a good size portion of veggies. It gets me to near full, and I never really finish the carbs portion either.

Not only that I bought some serving utensils that measure out 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup and 1 full cup. It's really helpful.

:)

Kelli,

I just found this link in another thread - http://www.babyearth.com/green-sprouts-warming-plate.html It isa plate for babies that keeps the food warm. This would work for us because it is small, sectioned and keeps the food warm (lord knows the food will go cold in 30 mins). I am ordering mine today!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
