Straws and keeping my drink cold

My surgeon has a no straw rule. I know because you get air in, but what's the bad part of that? Won't you just burp and be all good? Also, what's the best Water bottle that will keep your drink ice cold? The only water bottle I've used that keeps my ice in my Water is one I have with a straw.

Here is a pic of my sweaty glass water bottle.

My burping when I eat or drink to fast is WAY too loud, annoying and long for me to ignore. I bought an RTic for $11 at Amazon.< /p>

I lived with my Bubba Keg at my side, filled with cold drinks, in the months right after my surgery. Only downside -- definitely not dishwasher safe. Wash by hand only. I would fill mine half with ice and half with ice Water in the morning and in the evening there would still be tons of ice and the water icy cold, even in the heat of a Tennessee summer.

Can't help with the straws -- I was given drinks with straws within a couple hours of surgery and was told it was okay to continue using them. After I got over being groggy from the anesthesia I quit using them, but just because I have never liked straws, not because drinking from them was giving me any problem.

I love my Hydro Flask, keeps beverages ice cold with no sweating. I always use a straw, no air issues for me.

The Yeti Tumblers are amazing. I have 2. The larger one has a lid with a straw.

I love my Yeti. I miss straws. Only 7 days post-op so I'm not ready to "break any rules" just yet. Although - sipping is a new activity for me and I'm somehow getting air in my sips. LOL must not be doing that right.... Lots of burping going on here [emoji15]

I like bottles that can go in the dishwasher. I ordered the two pack of Modern Innovation bottles on Amazon and love them. Water stays super cold, don't need a straw, and the bottles don't sweat.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
