Question:
I FOUND THAT USING A SIPPY CUP KEEPS ME FROM TAKING IN TOO MUCH LIQUID AT A TIME

Thought it was a great idea suggested by my daughter and it really has helped. I am 7 days post op and I don't have the creeping up of the liquids into my food and wind pipe.    — Mary M. (posted on September 8, 2002)

I found a sports bottle to work too---makes it easier to take small sips--

My weight management program gave each patient a sippy cup and coated baby spoon to use post-op. The idea was to help keep us from gulping our water with too much air and to teach us to eat small bites slowly. They worked too- I didn't give mine up until about 6 months post-op.
