I asked my nutritionist the saaaaame thing. She explained that they really don't want us drinking through a straw right after surgery, as it allows more air into your tummy. However, once you're completely healed, straws are fine! She assured me that the air from using straws will NOT stretch your stomach, although carbonation WILL and is still a no-no for life.
Happy sucking!

Bless your bones You CAN do this!!! It DOES get better!!

Once you get to the cloudy liquids phase, ya know what I ate?!? HALO TOP ICE CREAM!!!! High Protein (for ice cream), meltable, cold, sweet and yummy... a couple spoonfuls definitely got me through some rough mental days.

Update: 3weeks + 2 days Post Op - 210.8lbs (-11.6lbs from SW of 222.4lbs)
Mood swings post surgery are real. I'm in Crank Town today and passed Douchery about 10 miles ago. I'm wearing my fancy ass hat on my head and I just feel like someone ought to call me Snarla. Cuz dayum, are the claws out and sharpened.
I've no idea why I feel this way. The sun is out. The temp is beautiful. Work is going well. I feel great--a little low on energy. The trains are running perfectly on schedule with only colace and Miralax on board. I can seemingly eat whatever the fork I want. I'm walking well. I've got a great guy who loves me despite OTT ass-hattery antics. I have a lovely fam who supports, accepts, and loves me.
The only stressor in my life is understanding my new tool's volume and the amount I can eat--coupled with feeling like I'm not losing so quickly--even though I'm perfectly a little above average at 3.528lbs per week.
So there's no reason to be cranky, except, I still am working anesthesia out, and probably dealing with some hormones from the fat liberation going down 'round these parts! LOL.
Ok, so I may go out and get some Vitamin D therapy today to see if I can get over my bad self!

I wanna know the same thing - is this the new norm?!? It's so embarrassing to take a drink of Water or eat with others while trying to stifle the clogged drain sound. UGH!!!

A lot of us felt this way. It's really none of anyones business. If someone asks me now, "What did you do, you look great?" I tell them I stopped eating all flour products and sugar - which is true. I don't ever want to be re-sleeved, so I am determined to eat the right way! This surgery has made it possible to finally curb those cravings!!
