Omg I am finally in my way home! Surgiversary 7/24/12. Oofta look out gym, when I'm ready I'm commin for ya!!

awesome... how are you feeling? My doctor was very clear on the fact that I do not use a straw. I see in you pic. that you are sipping liquids which is good but from a straw is a no-no. From what I understand a straw allows a lot more air in. I was a big soda drinker with a straw because a straw is a good thing on NON - RNY patients because it bypasses your teeth and your teeth don't get stained as much. I do miss my straw You will be so happy to get home and relax.. the worst is over with !!!

Ohh I was never told a no no with a straw but will x it just in case! Thank u for the advice! I was in the hospital 4 days and feeling ok, but got a 2.5 hour drive so we are taking stop and walk breaks on the way and I am hanging the pain meds ATM.

Oh yeah, nix that straw they are a big no-no! They can distend the pouch due to excess air which can lead to stretching (and more gas!) I was told they are forbidden forever after rny.

Glad you are feeling better and you are a smartie for taking walking breaks to avoid DVT and gas! It is always better to be home where you are more comfortable.

Congrats again!

Thanks Jen! I wonder why they wernt more strict on that :/ grr. Well it's nixed

Congrats! and good luck! The first hurdle is over.
