I drink from straws regularly now. I am 7 months post OP and started again with straws at 4 months post OP. I don't have any problems or pain. I know I won't drink the water I need if I can't have it through my straw. Give it a try and see how you feel, it's really the only way you'll know. Good luck!

You all might think I'm nuts but I use vicks vapor rub in my feet & hands when my exema flares up/ or my hands & feet are dry. It's an remedy for a lot if things. I swear by it. I just rub it on at night before bed no socks usually but I'm sure you could. & the next day everything feels better.....you just gotta like the smell. LOL

I am right there with you. A little frustrated but then I realized I wasn't journaling my food & exercise has slowed down. I am 5.5 months post op down 70 pounds & praying my body will loose more. Not trying to stress though because u know that makes a difference too. Just getting back to the basics and taking care of me. Good luck getting through your plateau too.

Back And Muscle Pain
NatRDH replied to stephane0603's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My lower back almost tailbone area has been causing me excrutiating pain. I called my surgeons office & they said it normal from rapid weight loss. To exercise those muscles more because they are used to be more fluffly covered by fat. & we are using areas of our body that weren't used as much before. So hope that helps a little. -
Great idea! Thank you! gonna try this one for sure.

I would love your list of high protien foods as well. It would be so helpful - I wk full time & then as soon as I get home my mom/wife hat goes on & I am really neglecting me! I feel it as I have hit a plateau at 5 months post op after rny. BTW I love this support group!

Why Do My Teeth Feel So Dirty?
NatRDH replied to Kymbesha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As a post op pt (5 months) and a dental hygienist this drove me nuts. I feel its the protien and all of the chewable/liquid vitamins. Make sure you are all using a soft toothbrush and brushing slowly in circles at the gum line. Don't forget to brush your tongue too. It helps & you should feel better. It passes. I also would suck on sugar free Mints. -
I was told the same. Gum makes my stomach gassy & I wk back to straws. It's the only way I get my water in. No problems yet. I am 5 months out & tried straws last month or do.
