Using a Straw

My doctor said not to use a straw when drinking. Do you all do that?

I miss my straw and I never thought that I would, lol!

They say not to use a straw because it may cause gas. I tried it and they are right. because all of our bodies are different best thing to do is try it out. See for yourself!! you will learn that with the band in order to know how something will be you must try it.

I love how all doctors are different. Mine prefers you drink out of a straw because it keeps you from gulping your drink.

My surgeon doesn't have the "no straw" rule either - I use one whenever I go out!

My doctor said not to use the straw because it would cause air which means being uncomfortable. I was always a straw drinker too but have learned to accomodate because I don't like the discomfort. I have alot of acid reflux since surgery and have found that using a straw makes it worse.

OMG SunnySandy,

My doctor has the no straw rule and I'm a girl who love the break the rules!! lol I still drink from a straw from time to time but it does give me extreme gas but I just let it rip and keep on going. I normally drink from a straw to drink my Protein Shakes since I hate them some much I seem to be able to drink them faster with a straw. I also use them when I go out to eat. But if you don't mind the gas I say go for it!
