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'?!? ????

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
