Straws and keeping my drink cold

[charley27 164]

My surgeon has a no straw rule. I know because you get air in, but what's the bad part of that? Won't you just burp and be all good? Also, what's the best Water bottle that will keep your drink ice cold? The only water bottle I've used that keeps my ice in my Water is one I have with a straw.

Here is a pic of my sweaty glass water bottle.

@@charley27 If money isn't an object - check out the Yeti drink cups/coolers.

If money is an issue, or you're just cheap, check out RTic cups. They are as good as Yeti.

My burping when I eat or drink to fast is WAY too loud, annoying and long for me to ignore. I bought an RTic for $11 at Amazon.< /p>

I lived with my Bubba Keg at my side, filled with cold drinks, in the months right after my surgery. Only downside -- definitely not dishwasher safe. Wash by hand only. I would fill mine half with ice and half with ice Water in the morning and in the evening there would still be tons of ice and the water icy cold, even in the heat of a Tennessee summer.

Can't help with the straws -- I was given drinks with straws within a couple hours of surgery and was told it was okay to continue using them. After I got over being groggy from the anesthesia I quit using them, but just because I have never liked straws, not because drinking from them was giving me any problem.

I love my Hydro Flask, keeps beverages ice cold with no sweating. I always use a straw, no air issues for me.

The Yeti Tumblers are amazing. I have 2. The larger one has a lid with a straw.

I love my Yeti. I miss straws. Only 7 days post-op so I'm not ready to "break any rules" just yet. Although - sipping is a new activity for me and I'm somehow getting air in my sips. LOL must not be doing that right.... Lots of burping going on here

I like bottles that can go in the dishwasher. I ordered the two pack of Modern Innovation bottles on Amazon and love them. Water stays super cold, don't need a straw, and the bottles don't sweat.

Yetis are great, but I bought a similar one from Walmart for 10.00 and my drink stats cold all day
