When can I drink through a straw?



Recommended Posts

And where are the "stay on topic" police?

Does it need all that much staying on?

Not to me, but I always get in trouble for straying. :D

Stray away. It makes this forum that much more interesting.

Spoken by the one who introduced the idea of hands into the topic. What a surprise.

Between this and another topic, I'm having fun in BP this a.m., but now I have to go.

I am 10 weeks post and have used a straw(not even aware I was using one...) since 2 weeks out. No problems at all.

Geez! Now I've heard it all...

One person poops staples, another "ignored his/her sleeve" immediately post op for years but suddenly it's back, and YOU drank from a straw unknowingly?

How?!? Lolz... I'm just poking ya'!

Whoa, you have one special place where you drink Water with a straw? Take an aspirin and call me in the morning.

You really said that? Oh, dear Krakow, what have they done to your song? Why not "Is that a frog in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" The first rule always is "Know your audience."

Was that because you confused it with the last song of the 1st act of the play "Hair" and you stripped naked? :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
