Where to buy small utensils?



Recommended Posts

I'm preparing for my operation and I would to start buying some the things I will need after my Lap Band.

What kind of utensils would you reccomend? Where to buy them?

I am hoping to find a set of small stain steel utensils.

Thanks!

Personally, I use a small plate in proportion to my meal size, but I've never used small utensils. I know some people swear by them, but I've never felt the need to use them. You've found a nice looking inexpensive set, so it sure won't hurt to have them on hand.

I liked them too. Also, at the bottom of the page they have the appetizer plates. Thinking about buying some of those too.

Oh, thanks, those plates are darling. I have a Crate and Barrel in my mall, so that will give me something new to shop for today. lol

I just purchased baby spoons, which you can get at any child store or Toys-R-Us. I like to eat from bowls, but I did get rid of all my big plates and purchased 8 inch.

I'm using an espresso spoon and pickle fork. The pickle fork used to be my cheesecake fork. I used it to eat whole cheesecakes, but slower. I used to think, You have to eat the whole cheesecake because you're not binging tomorrow and throwing it away is wasteful.

Those Crate & Barrel utensils are really cute. I may get them to have something that matches.

Good luck on your surgery!

Chopsticks are also a good option, especially if you don't use them often. They force you into eating only small pieces and they tend to slow you down. Plus, they're very trendy and you can look way cool.

FYI...I bought the set from Crate & Barrel. They are very nice. I can't wait to start using them.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
