Can we use straws? It has helped me with the small sips, is this a big no no?

I am glad to see that straws are not necessarily a complete no-no. I always use a straw cup and have for many years. I have teeth that are sensitive to cold and it would hurt a bit to not have my straws!

I was told no straws. It isn't a big deal for me not to use them, so I am doing as told.

Amanda, I'm with you. I'm doing what I was told. That way, if anything goes wrong, the error won't be on my head.

I waited about 2-3 months before I started using a straw. It's the only way I can get in my protein drink and ice water. I haven't had a problem. When I feel I've taken in too much. I just pause and give myself a little time for the liquid to move through my sleeve. Then I'm all good.
