Visualizing Post-Weight Loss Surgery Portion Sizes

Your portion sizes will need to decrease after your weight loss surgery. You won't always have a food scale or measuring cups handy, though. This guide helps you visualize appropriate portion sizes, so you can avoid eating too much after weight loss surgery:

• 1 cup cereal = a baseball

  
  



• 1/2 cup cooked or raw vegetables = a baseball

  
  



• 1 ounce or 2 tablespoons avocado or peanut butter = a golf ball

  
  



• 1 tablespoon olive oil, salad dressing, or mayonnaise = a poker chip

  
  



• 3 ounces chicken or other meat = a deck of cards

  
  



• 3 ounces fish = a checkbook

  
  



• 1 slice of bread = a cassette tape

  
  



• 1 baked or sweet potato = a computer mouse
