Baby Spoons

my nutritionalist recommended buying baby spoons for post op eating during the phased diet for Portion Control and controlling the speed of eating.

did anyone do this? thoughts?

I didn’t find it necessary but It could help if you struggle taking small bites. Im Pretty sure they have them at dollar tree.

Same here. Didn't bother and didn't need to, but for some folks it may be useful.

I personally didn't feel like I needed help with my bites as much as making sure I chew thoroughly & slowly in between.

If you are thinking about buy smaller spoons why not just use teaspoons.

I didn't buy anything to help with bite size or portion size, and I wouldn't have used them even if I did because I was really restricted post op. Less so now of course. I was eating food that covered the tip of a teaspoon initially, and then progressed to filling that up more. Nothing wrong with baby spoons though if that focuses the mind - it's all about that. Best of luck on your journey 🤩

yes and I still use them when I eat yogurt! Just become I like them. I got mine at Target.

If the thought of “baby spoons” makes you feel silly then check out demitasse spoons. They’re meant for espresso but I eat off them regularly as I find regular sized spoons cumbersome and awkward.

Quite a common suggestion. I personally just used teaspoons & then cocktail forks (sporks). They do help you keep your bites small.
