I am getting my supplies in order this weekend, and wondering if I really need to order the ZnS. They sound really helpful, but could I live without them? What do y'all think?
On a related note, does anyone have extra jaw surgery stuff there willing to recycle? I'll be glad to reimburse you through pay pal or something.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Katherine,
Before my first surgery, I stocked up on everything. As it turned out, I couldn't even use zipnsqueeze. I think it all depends on a few things: how numb you are, how much room you have in the back of your mouth behind your molars. I could hardly fit the small tube in the back of my mouth and therefore no air could get at it and the food wouldn't come out. When I managed to squeeze the food out it was very messy and it was hard to get a feel for how much was coming out. A large feeding syringe worked best for me. That being said, many people have said zipnsqueeze were great for them.
If I were you, I would like to have a few just in case you like them... but I don't think they're necessary. =)
I hope that helps a little!
I didn't have zip & squeeze, and I don't think I missed out on anything. I was able to pour liquid into my mouth via a small cup, or when I moved on to blended a syringe with a large opening was fine, but eating from a flat spoon was the easiest for me.
Thanks girls!
Katherine, I was fully intending on using my zip-n-squeeze because I did not think I would have full feeling in my lips after surgery. Amazingling I was able to drink out of a paper cup the same night as my surgery, so never had to use them. It really just depends on how things go, but I would rather be safe than sorry.
