I'm preparing for my operation and I would to start buying some the things I will need after my Lap Band.

What kind of utensils would you reccomend? Where to buy them?

I am hoping to find a set of small stain steel utensils.

Thanks!

I found this set online at Crate & Barrel.

Personally, I use a small plate in proportion to my meal size, but I've never used small utensils. I know some people swear by them, but I've never felt the need to use them. You've found a nice looking inexpensive set, so it sure won't hurt to have them on hand.

I liked them too. Also, at the bottom of the page they have the appetizer plates. Thinking about buying some of those too.

Oh, thanks, those plates are darling. I have a Crate and Barrel in my mall, so that will give me something new to shop for today. lol

I just purchased baby spoons, which you can get at any child store or Toys-R-Us. I like to eat from bowls, but I did get rid of all my big plates and purchased 8 inch.

I'm using an espresso spoon and pickle fork. The pickle fork used to be my cheesecake fork. I used it to eat whole cheesecakes, but slower. I used to think, You have to eat the whole cheesecake because you're not binging tomorrow and throwing it away is wasteful.

Those Crate & Barrel utensils are really cute. I may get them to have something that matches.

Good luck on your surgery!

Chopsticks are also a good option, especially if you don't use them often. They force you into eating only small pieces and they tend to slow you down. Plus, they're very trendy and you can look way cool.

FYI...I bought the set from Crate & Barrel. They are very nice. I can't wait to start using them.

Try target they sell appetizer plates as well and childrens untensils or a dollar store sometimes they have them too.
