I am at Dave's BBQ and am enjoying their smoking tea. Mmmm. Yes, it is still possible to go out and enjoy a drink with friends being post op.

Go Fiddleman!

And with a straw. * gasp * do not worry, I only started to use a straw after 6 months.

You rebel, you!

Enjoy!

That is, afterall the whole point of the surgery. To enjoy in moderation.

Oh no! Your sleeve is going to stretch and explode!! :-P

What next!? Cheeseburgers!? LOL - j/k, enjoy!!

Nope, this is not going to turn into a cheeseburger thread. That is like the 6th level of hell. Damn, my dinner came up, all 4 ounces of pork. My tummy did not give me a pass. Not the drink though. I think it was that pork at Daves. Better luck next time.

Ya know, I've used a straw since I got home from surgery **gasp!** I suck in more air not using one lol.

I didn't use a straw for the first 9 months, then after I did I said "hmmmm what was all the fuss about"?!?!? And have used one every day since then.
