If you are on the 2 oz at a time deal, I found these great cups at WalMart--they are 3 oz. plastic cups and come in a count of 100. I poured 2 oz. of water in one and marked it with a sharpie, then I marked the whole pack so that it's easy to fill up and my kids can fix my meals and snacks and all for me. Plus...it's easier to use than the medicine cups and I feel a little more human and not quite so much like an idiot! I wasn't even embarrassed to use them yesterday at a family gathering. Think I'll have to share this on a message board! Also, those little spoons from baskin robbins for tasting ice cream--haven't shopped for em yet, but I'm gonna find em cuz that's what they want us to use. My nurse at the hospital was able to get me a bunch from the cafeteria before I left, so I keep re-using them. Gonna look on Ebay and at Michaels and Sysco and stuff for the plastic spoons--I'll post if I find the spoons soon...don't know how much longer I'll need them, but I like em...makes me stay disciplined!

Dart 200PC 2 oz. Translucent Plastic Souffle / Portion Cup 125/PK Product details

was reading posts and here is a place you can get 2 ounce cups

if you buy large quantities with ground shipping it turns out anywhere from 3 to 10 cents a piece @ least for me

These are great!!! I like these even better than my cups...and the little wonders that I got on ebay...dang it...may have to shop some more!!!

OK...this is a fun thread because it is all about shopping!!! Ok...watch out for the transfer addictions...LOL...I can hear it now,

"Hello, my name is amserb and I am an addict and even a clepto at times because I just love to buy plastic portion cups, or take them from salad bars, and I just can't help from bidding on any small midget container made...I need help!"

I hope you all are laughing because I was just being silly...

Ok Amsderb-you know me too well already--I'm all about the tranferance of my addictions! hahaha!!! I already bought some of the other containers that I replied on earlier and I bid on the ebay little wonders--and dang it if I didn't win some of the auctions! I might be savin money on the food, but not on what to put these thick liquids in! LOL!

This is too funny. I used to do food demos at Walmart and when I stopped I had HUNDREDS of these little souffle cups left over (that the demo co. supplied) ....so I gave them to our church to use for Bible School, painting, snacks, etc for the kids. Hubbie said when could we possibly EVER need the little cups? I think I've seem them at WalMart..I'll look today.

Hey there, I will have to get those cups! I have some here, but I didn't know that walmart sold them. Also, I sell Tastefully simple ( which I wont be eating for a while) anyway, in my supplies that I need for parties, I have those spoons! If you need any let me know...I can get you a bunch of them for real cheap....let me go see how much they are. Oh my, I just saw the 2 oz cups 250 cups for $3.60 and I can buy the lids that go with it for travel and the spoons are 500 pack for 4.75 so....that sounds like a good deal? Let me know if you want me to help you out? Or anyone else reading this!

Hello everyone.. I was reading this fun post and I'm a little confused.. are you ALL newly banded? I was banded on 03/07 and was never told to limit intake to a certin amount of Ounces!! I am on the pureed stage and I follow that (ok try to at least keep it to soft foods) and I eat till I'm full.. usually about a cup or cup and a half?? is that bad?? Oh my what have I done.. I dont think I am overdoing it.. I mean I dont have any pain and I dont get my first fill till 04/09

Are you all just buying ahead so when you get fills you can use the cups and spoons??? HELP!!!!:teeth_smile: I mean can you actually stretch your pouch at the begining stages??? am I ruined??!!!

Those are awesome to make your own sugar free jello and pudding in!! Cheaper than buying the premade ones too!!!

i just buy the disposable baby spoons at walmart. they are rainbow colored. i dont throw them away unless i have to.

That is a GREAT idea, I will be having surgey on Tuesday, April 1 and am getting prepared. I have alot of SF Jello, severaly crystal light flavors to mix in water, boullion, broth, etc. I know it says thin, clear liquids for the first three days and want to be prepared. Any other suggestions I would appreciate! thankx

Why not just buy the baby spoons? You can get those just about anywhere, and use them like regular silverware.

Stormy, I'd also suggest some cream soups to have on hand, because you won't feel up to shopping for a while. Also, liquid tylenol will be good to have. I was on the liquid hyrdrocodone, but didn't need anything that strong. It made me want to sleep all the time!

OH.. don't forget the SF popsicles!! Those tasted so wonderful!

I got the SF popsicles the other day. Liquid Tylenol is s great idea and I think the gasex as well. I take my own vitamins that I market and I do understand that I am not to mention that. But I have a powder multi to mix in things as well as a chewable calcium magnesium supplement. I have a list for my last run to the store before Tuesday:

baby spoons, small 2 oz cups, brown sugar substitute. Does any one use that unjury unflavored protein? if so, how is it?

Hi Destynee,

I was banded Feb 15, I am not limited to certain quantities. Maybe after my first fill, which I postponed until May 1, but the doc hasn't said anything about that so far.

But, I am eating less and those little portable bowls would be useful. I got some similar ones for Christmas knowing my surgery was approaching. I carry Snacks to work in them, just because I don't need the room of bigger bowls.
