straws?

I was told during the pre surgery nutrition counseling session that i couldn't use a straw b/c it would give me gas. Well, i am 6 weeks post op now and last night I went out to eat and totally forgot and used my straw when taking tiny sips of water. I didn't even think twice, felt no gas and wondered if it was just a temporary post op thing...do any of you use straws? Is it ok to do so now?
