So at first my Dr. Said no straws, but I am 3 1/2 weeks out & want to use straws! LOL! Some of the Protein drinks will go down better with a straw I think, and I used them all the time pre-surgery due to tooth sensitivity. Do you use straws?

Sorry for posting such a simple question, but inquiring minds want to know!

his reason was that drink from a straw would bring me discomfort of i consumed too much air

It's ridiculous that doctors are still telling their patients no straws. My broth and all my liquids in the hospital came with a straw. Certainly my surgeon didn't ever say straws were any kind of issue. I've been using straws since day 1 with no troubles. I drink better with a straw and I need to keep my fluids up. Without a straw, I'd have a lot more trouble.

Ok i am from California... But straws are coming under fire for plastic.. One use... Disposable garbage that get handed out without asking... So similar to our drought where restaurants will ask if you want water, now some places are asking if you really want a straw.

Just a shift in thought maybe.
