Will I ever be able to drink with a straw again?

I asked my dr and he said not in the first fee weeks while you are healing. But as long as you drink slowly its ok. You should ask your doc. They all have different "rules".

Thank you

Yes you will

I was told initially no. I think it's due to you suck more air when drinking through straw. I find I drink better by drinking straight but yes I can drink through a straw.

My doctor said drinking with a straw was ok.

I started using a straw the day of surgery and have had no issues at all.

I would check with your doctor.

Has anyone experienced acne? I usually have clear skin but 17 days post op I have more bumps on my face than ever.

Funny, cause even when I was in the hospital I, too, was given a straw to drink with. I still use them with my Protein shakes and don't have any issues.
