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.

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'?!? ????

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
