The great straw debate!



Recommended Posts

And to keep it on track -

Straws are bad!!!

(Or good... whichever side is winning...)

I believe 'good' is winning in this particular thread. As it should be. So you chose the wrong side.

Don't do it again.

Yes, thank you.

You two needs to get a room.

Preferably padded.

And white.

Oh the fun that could be had in a padded room...

Sounds like the proper place to wait for someone to give you a "heads up".

I use a straw everyday. My Surgeon and nut told us that straws can cause excess air in your pouch which can make things uncomfortable. They said gum, early on, can get stuck. Never anything about "stretching."

You must be bypass because sleevers don't have pouches. :D

Let me know if you need some company. I've got nothing going on until Monday.

My pouch makes me feel so damn special in the midst of all of you cool sleevers!

I hope I'm not stretching it by drinking this Jones Zilch vanilla Bean soda. From the bottle. With a straw. :huh:

What's happening Monday?

The First Annual "Straws are Good" Awareness Benefit. Or the end of a 10 year long vacation. One of the two...

But probably the former!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
