Has anyone actually purchased/used a sippy cup?



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anyone has actually purchased/used a sippy cup while in the post op phase? Just a curiosity that i have since sipping is the only thing allowed.

Yep!! I have four sippy cups and I love them. Three are the six ounce size and one is the ten ounce size. I use them at University and don't care if anyone stares :-)!!! They actually help get Protein Shakes down faster because I can't "smell" what's in the cup and I'm the cup it doesn't feel like such a big task. Also I can shake them if stuff separates. Love them.

I am checking out Pura Kiki Stainless sippy bottles on Amazon (11oz). They look do-able.

Wouldn't using a sippy cup be pretty much the same as using a straw? Some folks were advised against using straws to avoid getting air taken in with each sip.

Well I asked and was told its ok. Sippy cups have a valve that traps air. It hasn't hurt me at all.

I guess I'm still uncomfortable with pictures of myself, wanted to change it up a little. It's gotten me some interesting comments! :lol:

I have two toddlers and have found the sippy cups work well and you dont swallow air. And with me if i drink to much at a time my stomach feels weird so they are perfect because its hard to get to big of a drink out at a time

As I understand it, there is not a lot of functionality built into the phone app to make changes to your profile. You'll have to do it from your PC, unless someone knows something I don't (which is completely possible).

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
