Nightmare
I use a straw all the time. I get more ounces of my water in that way. It cant hurt you, and the whole no soda thing is bubkis too. I had my first diet coke this past weekend. I put it over ice, and let it melt a little. No problem! I find when you deprive yourself of the thing you want most thats when bad habits of over doing it can happen. JMO!
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Phillipians 4:13
CW 190!!! GW Anything under 200 was the icing on the cake...going for 170...lil more icing never hurt anybody!
I use straws as well. But, I remember when I was newly post op (within the first 8 months) that I had one dream that I ate a whole roast beef and tore my pouch and ripped all the surgery out and was bleeding internally....Very strange dream and very realistic! No I had not eaten any whole roast beef... ;) Just the strange dreams we have. Good luck.
Warmly,
