Using straws

[Makulafamy 55]

Does anyone use straws for drinking or is using straws a no no for life?

I called the doc about a week after surgery bc I hadnt heard that we couldnt use straws. He said that I could give it a shot. He said for some people it gives them a "too much air" feeling, but that it wouldnt hurt anything...just might be uncomfy.

I dont drink from straws though...so I can't tell you how it makes me feel.

I didn't use them for the first six weeks because of the extra gas pressure, but afterward I started to use them again.

I have yet to have an issue with using them.

However, if your Dr. told you not to use them, then you really should follow your Dr.'s advice. This is the internet and self medicating yourself by what is said here is probably not a good idea. Talk it over with your Medical professional before taking any risks.
