Hi folks, I saw someone mention a 2oz little cup or something they found helpful to use post op, I can't find it. Does anyone know where one could get a little thing like that so it's easy to know how much you're eating? I just spent around 80 bucks on Amazon getting a scale, liquid tylenol, liq Vitamins, etc. getting ready for Feb10th...!! thanks antemano, p

I'm not sure what others are using, but I know the small Dixie cup and other "Jello shot" cups are 2 oz.

I used a 2 oz measuring cup by oxo for liquid measures. You can get them at Walmart, bed bath and beyond, but I got it at Amazon for like $4 I think. I still use it to keep myself on track.

They used small plastic medicine cups that hold 2 oz. I asked them for a few to take home and they gave them to me.

That was when I was in the hospital after surgery.

Liquid Tylenol will give you dumping syndrome bc the second ingredient is sugar...so avoid it.

Have you tried EBAY?? I have found all kinds of small cups/glasses, small bowls and containers, too. I just entered "2 oz glasses", or "4oz bowls", etc. I also enters "Tupperware" and found gobs of 2-8oz cups, bowls, lids. Just a thought.....????

I found that children's liquid Tylenol has high fructose corn Syrup. I didn't notice that with adult liquid Tylenol. I'll have to check the label on mine.

I think @@Inner Surfer Girl is right. I don't remember the adult version stating sugar as an ingredient, but good to double check ????! Adult liquid Tylenol is listed on my approval post op sheet, so I assume it's okay. Info well with any Tylenol/acetaminophen products, so in hoping that will help after surgery. They already told me no NSAIDS, ever. Period. It's still a hard blow to take, as they help me have a good quality of life by controlling other conditions I have. Oh well!! You move on and go through that wall, dont ya'?!? ????

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
