Baby Silverware

[Tamara Carter 22]

Have any of you switched to using Baby Silverware to help make the portions not seem so small? I am just wondering.

I use my son's baby fork and it helps SO much! I eat too big of bites and get so much gas pain with a regular fork. it also slows me down from eating too fast which is somthing I struggle with.

I bought baby spoons and forks on line, and it helps with portion size bites. I think it's a great idea.

I didnt think about it slowing me down when eating, but that is a really good plus.

I purchased appetizer fork and spoon set. Handles feel like normal but hope it helps with bite size and slow eating. Surgery this Friday!!

I have a 2 year old and am still pre op. It makes it easier portion wise to get the small plates and silverware LOL plus she thinks its funny

I need to do this! I'm still way pre-op, I just had orientation yesterday, but I think this will really help!

I found an adult "looking" baby-sized spoon & fork at World Market. It does help me take smaller bites. Highly recommend them!

I bought them at the dollar tree and never even took them out of the package. I used a regular teaspoon and just never filled it halfway. I cut my pieces about the size of a dime and put my fork down and chew like 30 times before I swallow.

I've been trying that too! Getting sleeved on the 22nd. I also decided to get some cute cups and saucers to eat off so it won't be a big plate with a tiny bit of food on it when I get to solids

I've also found that using a ramekin for Soups, cottage cheese, etc. is a nice way to make the portions look bigger than using a regular bowl. I've learned that just over 1/2 of the ramekins I use is 4 oz so I don't have to measure everything when I use them.

For taking things to work, Rubbermaid make 1/2 cup containers. They are PERFECT for single servings of 2-4 oz - again, don't have to measure.

My surg is oct 25. Today at Target i bought 4 - 4oz baby containers, pack of tiny spoons and forks (brand was Take n Toss)

Also new measuring cups and a 24 oz water bottle. They only had one type with ounces marked on the side. It was $11.99

Also got Biotin and sublingual B-12. Zinc was on sale but they were out. Made a trip thru men's dept and bought 2xl sweat pants for hospital. I'm NOT a man, and couldn't help but think "these wont fit long!!!"thank goodness!!! Should be the last time i buy anything for ME, in mens dept!!
