How long did everyone use their little one ounce cups for, how did you do the transition to "big girl cups" and how did you handle going out like shopping where maybe its harder to get your water. Right now I am supposed to be drinking 1 ounce every 10 minutes does that change when I go on to the mushy foods part of the diet??

I'm curious for the answers to your question myself. I am 9 days post op.

I actually dont know what ur referring to with the 1 oz cups for drinking. Ive always had a water bottle and drank what i could. Maybe its something ur team gives to help u drink slowly postop, but get in all ur water ounces. But so u know, u can have a water bottle and take the drinking slowly with that if u want to, especially if ur going out.

I did it for the first few weeks. I lined up 5 little one ounce cups and did laps around the house, downing an ounce with each lap. Refilled and kept going. It was the only way I could get up to 24-32 oz in the beginning. Especially those first 8 days without protein shakes.

Yes this is exactly what I am doing I tried a bottle of water yesterday as I had a huge amount of errands to run and I was so worried that I was drinking too much or too little just all consumed by water intake
