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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
