Portion/Bariatric Plates

I am just curious. I have saw that these portion/bariatric plates are encouraged by some. Has anyone used these plates after gastric sleeve? Were they helpful or a waste? Any suggestions on a certain set?

    My nutritionist recommended divided baby feeding plates from the dollar store. I picked up a few. I'm still pre op so I can't tell you if They're great or not. But for $1, I figured why not [emoji4]

    My nutritionist just said use a salad plate instead of the big one.

I use a small plate for dinners, and use the containers from Beach Body 21 day fix for bringing stuff to work.

Do you use a scale? Or just eyeball?

I got 2 oz & 4 oz containers w/ lids from the dollar store. It is perfect when I make Jell-O or a can of soup, I can divided into five meals or eight desserts. It is great for portion control and portability.


My nutritionist recommended eating off of a small child's plate. I have lots of small saucers and bread plates that I plan to use. I do intend to purchase some small spoons, to encourage small bites.

I have heard a lot of people buy the baby forks and spoons so that they take smaller bites.

I use the smaller salad plate from my dish set vs. the full sized dinner plate and that seems to work just fine. For snacks/lunches I use a Japanese bento set since they are quite small in the first place.

I am currently working on getting into the habit of weighing and measuring my food as well. I use a small inexpensive kitchen scale.
