I use mine all the time to figure out how many ounces of meat I am having (so I can figure out my protein numbers), but that's about all I use it for and I'm getting good at visually guesstimating. But for the $25 or so it cost me, it's been worth it!

I would say you definitely need one.

I got a good one that can give lbs, ounces, gms etc. It also has a tare function that will eliminate the weight of the dish you're measuring in.

I also bought a small meat loaf pan, tiny fry pan and even a small whisk to whip my eggs in a one cup measure.

I use baby spoons for yogurt, cottage cheese etc. It limits my food and makes me aware of how much I am eating.

I was never one to use a scale, although my clinic gave me a wonderful large magnet that showed me what a serving of different foods was. Although I did measure in the beginning 1/4 cups of food items..or tablespoons..even now at 5 years post-op...I still measure out my rice

prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss.

life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!. Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!
