I am a January bandster, and to date I do not use straws because it was on my no-no list. I just wanted survey others to find out if other bandsters are using straws. If so have you had any problems because of it?

Always use straws...no problems. But I do gulp too without problems. I get so thirsty.

I have tried to use a straws over the last couple of days and it does not work for me. When I would use the straw I would drink to fast and also drink to much which resulted in me having an upset stomach.

wow congrstulstions on ur loss

I have not used straws yet because I was told it was a BIG no no. I drink iced coffee 1-2 times a day and people have looked at me like I'm nuts for not using a straw. Even my mother asked why. But now I'm curious if it would be a problem at all. My luck it would be though lol

I do not use straws as a rule...I have had to use one every now and again, but I could count those times on one hand. My doc says not to use them.

My doctor advised against it, thus I do not use them.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

If your doctor advised against it, then you should stick with his/her plan.<o:p></o:p>

If your doctor did not deny you the straws, then have at it.<o:p></o:p>

I use straws all of the time and no problems
