Straws and how to stop using them?!

WOW BOB'S... I love it! I need that type of encouragement too... I have to admit! I was sitting here reading this and drinking from a straw... bad me! I had my surgery and Centennial too and when I was finally able to drink that blue crap... it was through a straw. Maybe I missed that part of the lesson but I have always used straws so what I am doing now is throwing my straw in the trash! I guess it's time for me to sit on the bench with everyone else... straw free!!! Don't worry, alot of habits are hard to break but it can be done!

Atta girl Dawn!  I guess it's sorta like "tough love" - gotta tell it like it is. We are all here for support and encouragement and sometimes ya gotta hear things that ya really wish ya didn't have to hear.  I would rather shoot straight, be a little blunt, and give someone the honest scoop than mislead them and cause them to fail or not be as successful as they can.   I'd do it again tomorrow, but it is definitely a big lifestyle and mindset change. Well worth it to me, but everyone has to make their own decision. If they choose WLS - you have to live with it from now on. And LIVING is lots better than the alternative!!
