Well ... it's only $9, so if you believe it will help you, that is what really matters. The sleeve is going to dictate your Portion Control. I know you are early out and not on solid foods, yet, but believe me, you will be amazed at how little you will be eating.

I would be afraid to use a tool like that because I would then be comparing to something. A device that is really designed for folks with "normal" sized stomachs. You aren't going to need a device like this for awhile, so why don't you just give it some time and see if you are able to do this.

When it is dinner time and we are having stir fry, I just take a couple small tablespoons of the meat and veggies. If I am not feeling the restriction, I'll grab another bite. Having chicken? I will take 1/4 of a breast. Same thing. If I am not feeling the restriction, I will cut off another bite. Guess what I do with fish ... yup. Same thing. After a few meals, you know what your portion size needs to be. Start off by taking ridiculously small portions. You can always grab another spoonful.

Thanks for the Portion Control advice. I'm not going to buy that thing. This app has the best people to get advice from.

I agree with PdxMan - you won't need it, because it is intended for those with a normal size stomach. I can't eat nearly as much as shown in the picture.

That's an interesting doohicky. I doubt I could eat even one of those little circles now.

Pre-sleeve that would have looked like a pretty dinky dinner, though
