Drinking with a straw?
No, there is no way it could stretch out your pouch. Some people suck in too much air with a straw and get gas that makes them uncomfortable. If that happens, you probably don't want to use a straw. Many people have no problem drinking with one, though. If it feels comfortable for you, it's fine to use one.

I drink through a straw all the time and have never had any trouble.
While I am very obedient with regard to changes my surgeon suggested, there are some things, such as drinking through a straw, that I have incorporated back into my life as the years have passed because there is no harm to it if it does not cause problems.
Yea I got the whole no drinking from the straw instructions, but I've tried it a few times and doesn't seem to be any issues when I use it.
