Why can't you drink from a straw? I was banded in 2008 and haven't had any sodas since. Ive tried one before like a year ago and it was disgusting!!!! All I drink and all I grave is Water. But I always drink out of a straw and haven't heard that drinking out of a straw is bad. So why is it bad?

Oops

I love Champion Pure Whey protein (chocolate). It mixes up great in a bottle with ice very well and doesn't leave it all foomy after blending. And the flavor to me is the best I've found. I get it at The Vitamin Shoppe, it's kind of expensive $45 for 5lbs but it has 21g of protein per serving.

My favorite is Champion Prue Whey (chocolate) tastes like chocolate milk. They also have several other flavors!

Thank you all for your advise. I have gone back on liquids and haven't vomitted yet! I am staying on liquids another day to help the swelling go down.

I was banded on 8/22/08 and had my 1st fill on 11/17 and had 2cc put in and on 11/29 had 0.5cc taken out. I had a lot of food get stuck only thing that would stay down was liquids or liquid soup. My 2nd fill was 1/19/09 and i was on liquids till 1/23, I was also able to get all my pills down fine without cutting them, and that day i had top roman and that night i had chips/salsa/mushie beans and that all went down fine. The next night i tried same thing, salsa/chips/muchie beans and they got stuck, i had to vomitt to get the pain to stop. I tried yogurt that night and it got stuck also. I tried just mushie beans and they got stuck, had to vomitt it also. Then this morning i tried swallowing a pill way smaller than a size of a #2 pencil earser and it got stuck. So today i went back on liquids. Do i need a unfill? Or should i just wait it out. I am still losing weight and able to drink water/protein.

It's me again...not PBing but i have been throwing up everything except water

I had a fill on 1/19/09 and was on liquids till 1/23 (and was able to take all my pills whole) then i tried chips and salsa, and beans dip and that all went down fine. Since then i have had everything get stuck except for liquids. I usually PBing if still stuck by 1 hour. I have gone back to liquids and have tried a pill smaller than a #2 pencil earser this morning and it still got stuck....now i hurt. What should i do?? Unfill?
