I use a digital food scale and then just regular measuring cups. I measure things like chicken, etc with the scale- 3-4 oz depending. Then I use the regular measuring cups for things like carbs- Pasta, potatoes, etc- I tend to just eyeball the veggies, but use the regular measuring cups if I do want to measure.

I think they're a must have- especially the food scale. It keeps me honest as far as portion sizes are concerned. Mine has grams and ounces, and a tare function so you don't measure the weight of the container. I use it almost every day, banded just over 6 months.

Hope this helps!

So glad to see this post, considering I was just going to make one similar! I've been considering purchasing one to be as precise as possible and I am very curious to see whether or not people utilize them and if so which ones!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
