Have any of you switched to using Baby Silverware to help make the portions not seem so small? I am just wondering.

I use my son's baby fork and it helps SO much! I eat too big of bites and get so much gas pain with a regular fork. it also slows me down from eating too fast which is somthing I struggle with.

I bought baby spoons and forks on line, and it helps with portion size bites. I think it's a great idea.

I didnt think about it slowing me down when eating, but that is a really good plus.

I found an adult "looking" baby-sized spoon & fork at World Market. It does help me take smaller bites. Highly recommend them!

I bought them at the dollar tree and never even took them out of the package. I used a regular teaspoon and just never filled it halfway. I cut my pieces about the size of a dime and put my fork down and chew like 30 times before I swallow.

I've been trying that too! Getting sleeved on the 22nd. I also decided to get some cute cups and saucers to eat off so it won't be a big plate with a tiny bit of food on it when I get to solids

I've also found that using a ramekin for Soups, cottage cheese, etc. is a nice way to make the portions look bigger than using a regular bowl. I've learned that just over 1/2 of the ramekins I use is 4 oz so I don't have to measure everything when I use them.

For taking things to work, Rubbermaid make 1/2 cup containers. They are PERFECT for single servings of 2-4 oz - again, don't have to measure.

My surg is oct 25. Today at Target i bought 4 - 4oz baby containers, pack of tiny spoons and forks (brand was Take n Toss)

Also new measuring cups and a 24 oz water bottle. They only had one type with ounces marked on the side. It was $11.99

Also got Biotin and sublingual B-12. Zinc was on sale but they were out. Made a trip thru men's dept and bought 2xl sweat pants for hospital. I'm NOT a man, and couldn't help but think "these wont fit long!!!"thank goodness!!! Should be the last time i buy anything for ME, in mens dept!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
