No I use small dessert plates or a dessert bowl and it still fills me up. :P

I use small plates, bowls, and a baby spoon (so cute)... Anything to help!

I use little ramekins, a couple of wide-mouthed shallow mugs (for food), and saucers from tea plates. I use the smallest spoons and salad forks from my silverware set, but I never used the baby silverware and didn't find that I needed it.

I have appetizer forks and spoons to help me slow down and take small bites.

I have little glass pinch cups from Pampered Chef. They are perfect :)

It worked for me at first. Sometimes I'll still grab a bread plate if we're having a meal that I won't eat much of. I find that I still, after three years, fill the plate too much and end up wasting food when I'm not measuring or using a small plate. I spent years and years filling big dinner plates until there was no empty space left. That's a hard habit to break.

I use a dinner plate, fill it way too much and then end up handing what I can't eat to my husband.

      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?
