Please let me know how many and what you used for a surgery

and what you think of it.

Thanks,

I am 10 days post op from lower surgery.

I bought the " Hospital Kit " from the Zip 'n Squeeze website. It included 5 of

each bags (liquid and puree) and a book. I used 1 liquid bag at the hospital

when I was really sore, but since I have been home I have not used them at all.

I prefer to used a little spoon or a little cup to slurp food it. I also liked

the large syringes my oral surgeon provided. Shoots the food right in! I am

wired shut with a splint.

If I had to do it again, I would not buy the Zip 'n Squeeze bags.

Depends a lot, methinks, on whether your wired and/or tightly banded.

I was neither, and I didn't need 'em. But I adored (and still do) the

jaw wrap, and recommend it most highly.

I, too, bought the hospital kit. I use these bags everyday, and I am not wired.

I can eat many things with a spoon, but when it comes to certain liquids or

milkshakes, I like to use the bags. They let me get in enough to feel like I

have taken in something. Besides, I get tired eating with a spoon and this

allows me to rest and not refill a syringe every ten seconds. Iced tea, juice,

and in the beginning, runny mashed potatoes.

I do, however, have the syrings as well. I like these for hot liquids that I

want just a little bit of at a time- like coffee or chicken broth.

I am very glad I purchased these along with the cool jaw wrap. That thing was
