Counting the weeks...

What's this with no straws??? I mean I can give them up easily, but its just so much easier when I am work and also required!

Straw=Air in pouch! Air in pouch=Foamies or pain or both which may mean VOMITTING! Ooooooo! Just sip, sip, sip! You can try a straw again at about 6 months post op if you really love it. I still avoid them and I'm over 4 years post-op. Course there's always going to be the folks who say they used them right away and never had a problem. .... I ere on the side of caution though. Why do it if it may cause a problem; especially when it's not a big deal? Huggggz!!!! Joyce

Ahh... that does make sense! I am not that attached to a straw, its just at my job we have to have a lid on all our cups, due to the computers. So straws make life easier. I know I have to slow down on my water consumption, because I can drink probably 16oz in a few minutes (thus, why I have to use the ladies room every 30 minutes!) and after surgery, I know you have to slow down! Thanks Joyce!
