Thoughts On Drinking Through A Straw?

[newat52 1,613]

I got it. I chuckled when I read it.

It would suck to not be able to use them

Or, it wouldn't suck. HA! See what I did there?

[facepalm] Really?

Sigh...you are the only one who "gets" me.

This is why you two are my favs!

Warped minds think alike and laugh alike!

Life is good!

I'm one to advocate common sense. If it is something like diet phases or when to start exercising after surgery, PLEASE know that you must defer to your surgeon's wealth of knowledge and experience!

But drinking through a straw? Naaaawwww! If it doesn't cause problems and you can drink more, that is a great thing! Me personally....I would do that. I've always used a straw with no issues, though. In fact, I wouldn't even consider drinking a Protein shake that uses powdered Protein without a straw. The straw helps sooooo much with the nasty settling that can occur. LOL

Whatever you decide, make sure you get all of your recommended Water and Protein in, or more. It is CRUCIAL to healing and weight loss.

Update: so I'm a naughty girl and I went against my drs advice! I drank through a straw all day. My sleeve did not explode, I did not spontaneously combust, and I got in more Water than usual. If I make it through the night I guess we'll just keep it our little secret.

I'm guessing you made it though the night?

Your secret is safe with me!

Woot! Woot!

I know it's hard to go against your surgeon and NUT recommendations but in all honesty, this is one that I think is just fine.

Weird my doctor or nutritionist never told me I couldn't use a straw. I've been using them just fine the whole time.
