While sifting through the internet, looking for information on recipes and things to have on-hand after surgery, I found this.

Read it all the way to the bottom, I know it's lowbrow humor, but worth at least a smile!

Portions after Weight Loss Surgery

Practicing Portion Control in the early stages after surgery will help you avoid eating too much food which may cause some discomfort. Continuing to practice portion control will help avoidlarge portions sneaking back up on you. Eating portions larger than what your pouch can hold will stretch your pouch and provide more calories than you need.

Tools you’ll need to help monitor portions:

• Measuring cups and spoons
  

• Food scale
  

• 6-inch plates and small bowels
  

Haha! Small bowels!
