Hi wonderful people -

I'm 8 days out from surgery and feeling great. All liquids and Proteins are in and I'm getting skinnier by the day. =)

I prefer my Protein shakes very cold, BUT I have sensitive teeth and it's killing me to not use a straw. When did you start using one after surgery? The literature from my surgeon/nut mention to NOT use one during Clear Liquids, but say nothing about the full liquid period.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks!

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'!

LOL! I was only using it when I was out at a place where I always have my water with a straw. Just never thought of it til maybe a a couple of weeks ago. Ok, other than that,I follow all other instructions ;^)

So, did I ever tell you all how badly I was judged when I took my kids to see The Book of Mormon on Broadway?

Maybe if you took straws and frogs as well, they could have been your good luck charm .......

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."

Hey, I may have to kiss the cute froggie, you never know, it may turn into a prince ......

Holding a straw ......

How did I miss someone pooping staples?

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

(A guy can dream, can't he?)

Yes, that too: dream away

My doc said you can drink from a straw from day 1. And I did and still here to talk about it. Lol
