So here i am going on my second week out have moved on to things such as stage one baby food and mash tatos. But I was wondering does any ones else eat with a baby spoon? I am doing this because i think that it will help me take my time eating as well as small amounts so that i can tell when i am full. I my self can tell when i am full because i get the hiccups.

I often use a baby spoon to eat my yogurt & granola at lunch. I feel it helps me eat smaller bites and allows me to eat longer and take about the same time as my coworkers around me. I get odd looks when someone first notices it- but Oh Well it is helpful to me!

I am using a baby spoon and a baby fork, but got some nice stainless steel ones so I don't look TOO goofy eating with some neon, flowery, cute-sie silverware. I learned from someone on this site to use a real small plate (like teacup saucer type) and put it on a mug warmer to keep my food warm. It works great! I feel so dainty with my little utensils and little petite plate. Kinda fun!

Yes I do, spoons, forks and I have baby plates w/ the dividers, Just perfect for the small amount of food I now eat. I'm on mushies and still eating very little and it takes a while.

Baby spoons are still part of my daily life. I also use some pretty china saucers for my plates and I use tiny glasses to drink from. I also have some little bowls that I use for Soups or when I have a snack.< /p>

IMO, it looks better to me for my whole place setting be tiny, rather than having a big fork or spoon next to a little plate.

None of this was expensive. I hit Goodwill for what I wanted and spent under $10 for all of the table setting items I bought.

Good luck on your journey!! :)

I did early out. Now I use regular silverware but I do use kids plates and bowls, just because it is pointless to use regular plates.

I never went out and got baby silverware, but I do use smaller plates and bowls. I kind of wish I got cute little baby silverware :). Sounds kind of fun lol

early on i did, and sometimes now.. but I still prefer my sterling spoons and small desert forks. They make me feel special, and I like the way silver tastes over plastic or other metals. I do have a huge stack of small dinner ware... I love my little bowls. TIP: check out the asian markets, they have some beautiful small bowls and plates for a good price too. The small bento boxes are great for taking lunch to work too, in style.

      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
