Noob Question

is it absolutely true we can never use straws at my meeting last night they gave us each a 6 pack of baby sippy cups i was just wondering cut out all soda but i still like straws and chew on them to keep me from returning to smoking.

Hi, 

You tend to swallow more air when you use a straw. Takes up space in stomach. Chew on them, but don't use them...that's what they told me. 

Lisa...I can't read your post....it is in a different script. 

HUGS and love....connie d

Hi Lisa!  Your original message is written in some weird language!  LOL!

I was never told not to use a straw, but definitely told not to drink any kind of carbonated beverages--ever.  I tend to only use straws in restaurants, so it's not much of an issue for me.  Do remember not to eat and drink at the same time!  Eat your meals without drinking fluids so as not to stretch your pouch.  If I get really thirsty in the middle of a meal, I sometimes take a tiny sip of water, but that's all.  I can't imagine it would hurt anything to chew on a straw.
