Depends on how far out you are.

I had to sip the cups on day one and 2. Now I can drink a whole one with no problem...I don't gulp it down, I still drink slowly.

im only a week out, but I see a difference. Instead of taking one hour + for my Protein Shake, I can do it in 45 minutes. Lol

Thanks I'm 4 days out and it hurts when I take a lil sip, so I know it's gonna hurt if I take all of the 1 oz at once.

Sip. They told me not to gulp because it can cause gas. Which I've definitely noticed.

Anyone know when we stop using the medicine cups and just start sipping a normal sized drink (like Protein shakes)?

I stopped using the tiny cups after a day at home. Just made sure to measure everything and track it so I knew I was getting enough.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
