Melbourne’s 360 SURGERY shares portion control essentials after weight loss surgery
Portion control tools can be a useful way to measure and control your food intake. Fortunately, there are a range of tools available and if you can’t find them at your local Melbourne homeware store, you’ll find them available online.
Portion control tools after weight loss surgery:
- Bariatric Plates: These help you stay on track with your portions.
- Bariatric Bowls: Like the portion plates mentioned above, these will help you stay on track with your portions, especially for soups, stews, etc.
- Portion Control Glasses: These are great for helping you portion fruit or veggie juices.
- Food Scale: Use a food scale to weigh your protein when you get back into eating solids.
- Ramekins: Great for portion control.
- Portion Control Containers: These are great for portion control when eating on the go.
- Measuring Cups: Right after surgery, you will want to measure out food to ensure you are eating the right amount.
- Mindful Eating Flatware: This is somewhat less common, but if patients are struggling with portion control and/or eating too fast, using smaller utensils can be helpful.
