So here i am going on my second week out have moved on to things such as stage one baby food and mash tatos. But I was wondering does any ones else eat with a baby spoon? I am doing this because i think that it will help me take my time eating as well as small amounts so that i can tell when i am full. I my self can tell when i am full because i get the hiccups.

I often use a baby spoon to eat my yogurt & granola at lunch. I feel it helps me eat smaller bites and allows me to eat longer and take about the same time as my coworkers around me. I get odd looks when someone first notices it- but Oh Well it is helpful to me!

I am using a baby spoon and a baby fork, but got some nice stainless steel ones so I don't look TOO goofy eating with some neon, flowery, cute-sie silverware. I learned from someone on this site to use a real small plate (like teacup saucer type) and put it on a mug warmer to keep my food warm. It works great! I feel so dainty with my little utensils and little petite plate. Kinda fun!

Yes I do, spoons, forks and I have baby plates w/ the dividers, Just perfect for the small amount of food I now eat. I'm on mushies and still eating very little and it takes a while.

Baby spoons are still part of my daily life. I also use some pretty china saucers for my plates and I use tiny glasses to drink from. I also have some little bowls that I use for Soups or when I have a snack.< /p>

IMO, it looks better to me for my whole place setting be tiny, rather than having a big fork or spoon next to a little plate.

None of this was expensive. I hit Goodwill for what I wanted and spent under $10 for all of the table setting items I bought.

Good luck on your journey!! :)

I did early out. Now I use regular silverware but I do use kids plates and bowls, just because it is pointless to use regular plates.

I never went out and got baby silverware, but I do use smaller plates and bowls. I kind of wish I got cute little baby silverware :). Sounds kind of fun lol

early on i did, and sometimes now.. but I still prefer my sterling spoons and small desert forks. They make me feel special, and I like the way silver tastes over plastic or other metals. I do have a huge stack of small dinner ware... I love my little bowls. TIP: check out the asian markets, they have some beautiful small bowls and plates for a good price too. The small bento boxes are great for taking lunch to work too, in style.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
