mwalton527 0 Posted July 29, 2012 Hi, I’m a new bandster (July 19) and I’ve been gathering recipes and getting my kitchen ready to start eating like a bandster. My question is what kitchen item have you found you can’t live without now that you are a bandster. Thanks in advance for your time and assistance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Laughing Cat 54 Posted July 29, 2012 The most important for me is my measuring cup. My brain and reality have two different ideas of portion size. I don't care what something weighs...it's what fits in the measuring cup that matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChicagoRose 650 Posted July 29, 2012 I have not been banded yet but i have heard using child-size dishes, bowls, and dessert forks helps with feeling like you have a whole plate full of food! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SageTracey 608 Posted July 29, 2012 A teaspoon. If I am eating anything with a spoon, I will only eat with a teaspoon. It slows me down and forces me to have smaller mouthfuls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted July 30, 2012 I love my Ninja Pulse, food scale, salad forks/plates and small spoons. I also love my muffin tin because I can make band size portions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
