The great straw debate!

[PayItForward 207]

Haven't read the whole thread yet so I don't know if this has been mentioned yet. I stay away from straws because they increase the wrinkles around your lips. The same way smoking does.

@@CHM LOL, brilliant minds think alike (I swear I was just thinking exactly the same thing)!

In case we actually are all going to implode, for the barbaric use of straws after surgery, I did a little (note little) investigation. Someone allready stole my idea of creating a airless drinking straw. A quick Google search led me to the Amazon page. I personally had planned on naming mine "The Bariatric Siphon". The siphon idea is straight forward, I was still working on the plans for the vacuum attachment, that would suck out all the dangerous air from your mouth/lungs prior to drinkage. Keep having problems with collapsed lungs...

I thought my Ex was the only one who used that excuse!

Just had initial contact with NUT. My team recommends waiting 6 weeks only because a straw can cause burping and burping can hurt! After that straws are ok...so they say.

While I am sucking, through a straw of course, I breathe through my nose - so I don't lose suction

So are suckers dangers too? I like a good Blow pop once in a while

@@LipstickLady, this is a legitimate question, please do not banish me to the island of misfit toys -

Suck and blow? In my sorority girl days we had a mixer with Sig Ep that was called the Suck and Blow. I'd still wear the t-shirt but it's a bit big now.

Hey! Leave my chimp alone!

Is this where that phrase "spank the monkey" comes in?

I thought that was usually indicative of self service.

I feel I've slept thru the fun again...

I'm starting to take the lack of a 'heads-up' personally...

And yes, it was with some trepidation that I used the term 'heads-up' around you people...

perhaps assign each of your friends to be responsible to give you the 'heads-up' one day a week? maybe each thinks the other is doing it for you? just a suggestion......
