My baby utensils...



Recommended Posts

I have gotten so sick of getting stuck and vomiting and the only thing I can say the reason is is that I'm eating too big of bites and eating too fast.

So my solution....Baby utensils...

Walked into my local Wal-Mart went to the baby isle and found these cute little baby spoon, fork, and knife set...

I have been using them so far through out my dinner and not one stuck episode.. Yay Me!

My doctor's office suggested that and they have been great... I have a set in my lunch bag, a set at home, a set in my desk drawer at work, and a set in my purse. It helps me be prepared wherever I go. And mine are Disney, LOL!!!

That is a great idea Charmin!

Also, I was trying to quote you and I accidentally clicked the negative sign...not sure what it means and I can't undo it. :(

I got cocktail forks and demitasse spoons-it was all I could find at Ross, but they totally help! And, no plastic involved.

That's exactly what I got to use...keep one set at work....I like them so much better than the plastic toddler ones!! Makes me feel like a big girl now!! :lol:

I have 2 sets also. one at home and one in my lunch bag !! people at work make fun of me but every week when they see less of me they dont laugh as hard !!! :D

I also use baby plates to eat off of. a local shop writes on them and they are dishwasher safe. so around the rim of a little mermaid plate says one day I will be just as sexy !! LOL

I have a Winnie-The-Pooh toddler plate that has one bigger section and two little sections. I try to use that or a salad plate.

I have everything in small child or baby size. I use small utensils, bowls, plates etc. My co worker who knows I am banded laughed at first when she saw me using all this tiny stuff, but now she is used to it. Using normal sized things is weird now for me

Yep! I use them at home. Real forks are SO huge in comparison! I also eat my meals off a salad plate or a ramikin

Maybe I should try that, but only at home, I would be to embarrassed at work. I know I take to big of bites and don't chew enough. As of right now I have no fill so I have had mo problems getting stuck, but it is something I need to work on

I have been meaning to do just this! I used a baby spoon right after surgery for my yogurts and puddings and it really helped. I have been using a salad plate for my dinner plate and that also helps, but I'm heading to Walmart after work for baby silverware!

I always kept my daughter's (who is now in her twenties...lol) baby spoons and forks in the drawer to use for pickles, olives and cheese trays and such.... they are still in perfect shape and now I use them for eating. I do need to pick up a set to keep at the office.

I also use the tiny rubbermaid containers to bring my lunch to work and use the cocktail sized paper plates to eat on. At home I use a salad plate or small monkey dish to eat off of.

Whatever works is my motto!B)

My surgeon presented me with a beautiful silver baby spoon and fork set (along with some other stuff - Bracelet, pedometer, balloon) the day after my surgery, while I was still in the hosptial. He also gave me a crystal 4oz glass to go with it, so I can measure my portions. He is the best and I was his first!:D

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
