No, no one in my group used a sippy cup either. Just drank out of the bottle or cup with no straw. Trust me, you'll feel better that way. Good luck on your surgery! I hope you have as good as an experience as I have had, minus the general anesthesia intolerance. Lol

Good to know about the chicken broth and straw ?? did you get a child sippy cup ? Congrats on your new journey .. Mine is in four days
