Sippy Cups

Last night at my Bariatric support group the gave us a 6 pack of baby sippy cups i was wondering did anyyone else use them or is it just my group that supports using them i also chew on straws while i quit smoking.

I didn't use one and it never occurred to me.  Why do they encourage you to use one?

The packet I got from the surgeon's office says we don't need to buy anything special for after surgery except for a blender if we don't have one.  It specifically says we don't need baby utensils (is a cup a utensil?) that we just need to take small bites with a regular spoon or fork, chew everything very very well, and take small drinks until our tummies heal. It seems kind of silly to buy special cups to use for just a couple of weeks.

It also says not to buy baby food to eat which I would never have thought to do anyway because it is disgusting!

They gave them to us just a part of a surgery package as in chapsticks and socks to help us a a gift box thing and to encourage s,mall sips no straws and we also go baby utensils just as a reminder the nut says.

When I was pre-op it was a suggestion that patients might want to use sippy cups. Mostly for the lid. It helps some who are turned off by the smell of their protein shakes. I believe the smaller size is to help fool you about how much you are taking in so the quantity seems like more.

I never used them.

I vote for the bad protein powder smell issue. I have a small - I think 16 oz. - Rubbermaid shaker bottle that has a lid with a drinking spout that works well. 

I think I have the exact same thing. But I want to say mine came as a gift with a protein shake order. Unjury probably.  It was a good option to have.
