Question:
I find it more easy to get my water in by using a straw.

I'm 3 weeks out, and the straw helps alot. I'm able to drink more water during the day. Is this a good thing or not ??? Barbara    — Barbara F. (posted on September 12, 2003)

I am 2 weeks out. The problem I had with a straw was that with the air already in the straw, I was getting to much air in my stomach. Best wishes

Hi Barbara, My surgeon actually wanted me to use a straw to drink my liquids as he said if I tried to do drink regularly it would cause even more air in my pouch. But everyone is different. I would ask your surgeon what he thinks. Open RNY~4/21/03~278/193/...128?
