Does anyone know of an adult sippy cup that you can get the only dispenses 1 tsp of liquid at a time.

Not really, I am interested to see what others post because my nuse told me to get a sippy cup but I never did.

I bought some sippy cups but I haven't used them.  I got a metal water bottle and use it most of the time.  Otherwise I use normal glasses and just sip slowly.

I used a sippy cup right after surgery to help me learn how to sip.  I'm not a sipper at all....the only way I know how to drink water is by large drinks and as fast as I can.  The sippy cup really really helped...there was no chance of drinking too fast or too much at a time which=no pain.   I'm still struggling with this sipping thing...every morning is a painful reminder of why I need to sip!!  I didn't buy a special cup, just a pink princess one from Wally World.  

Hope this helps!

I dont know of any but if you are preparing for postop I bought some 2 oz medicine cups to use to measure my foods and liquids at first. They are plastic so you can even put them in the microwave briefly to warm the food.

Most hospitals will give you some plastic 1 oz. medicine cups to take home with you if you ask for them.  I got about 2 dozen  of them before I went home post op.  They were a life saver in learning exactly how much 1 oz. is.

I didnt bother finding an adult sippy cup, I used my granddaughters Dora the Explorer and took it with me everywhere, no one really noticed and I wouldnt have cared anyway.
A friend of mine bought an adult sippy cup for me later as a gift, she got it at TJ Maxx, it has sort of a nipple pertursion, it worked well too.

  They make some really expensive ones that you DON'T need. I bought a couple of 5 oz sippy cups for a typical 1-2 year old. Three holes in the sipper and work great! Cost about a dollar each.

You won't need it.  Use a regular glass and just take small sips.
