Straws...

For those of you that can use straws when drinking, how long was it before you could start again? After my 2nd stricture I thought I had no problems, but then one day, everything came back up. Today, I have been drinking a fruit/protein shake and so far no problems. I know a few WLS friends haven't had problems, but wondering when it was no longer an issue. I would be able to get in so much more water if I could use a straw without difficulties. Hope everyone is well... I haven't been around much. Work and going to the gym has kept me extremely busy ~Nicole

Hi Nick, I use straws but we were told we should not due to sucking air. I don't think I suck much air. Do you? Mary

No... not really. Not seeing a problem with it yet... going to try it more often. I can get my water in MUCH quicker! How are you Mary? We must do lunch one of these weekends. I miss you! ~Nicole

Hey Nicole, I do pretty good with the straws, when I do use them...trial and error with this whole thing... Erin
