Bariatric tools?

Curious if you all feel a need to use bariatric plates, utensils etc. Getti g ready for surgery.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I have a few of those things and they do help me. Small bowls, a few small plates, and a set of toddler utensils (not plastic, normal steel) The tiny spoon helped today when I was only allowed 2tbsp pudding for lunch (3 days post op). I also have some 2oz disposable plastic containers with lids for preparing single servings of pudding, Jello, etc.

I've been using baby plates and baby spoons since I started my pre op and still use them all the time. It helps alot. Plus you can find super cute plates lol.

Nope. I don't use any of that. I purchased some very nice flatware and dishes before I considered surgery. I use those. Almost 2 years later I am happy with my choice.

I find putting my smaller portions on normal size plates helps me better gauge what portions should look like. So when I am not at home it makes it easier to eye ball how much I should eat.

The rest of the world isn't going to feed you on Bariatric plates or baby you. So I felt it was better to learn to adapt.

I bought a plate for bariatric patients but never used it. I do use my kitchen scale every day.
