Do U Drink Out Of A Straw?!

[Tahneesamson 41]

Think my dr said no straws ever! But I feel like I can control my sips better with a straw...???

My doc told me the same thing. You intake more air with drinking with a straw.

But if it helps control gulping. I don't seem to have that problem

[ccsbulldog 59]

I was told no straws.

I was told the same thing. I do believe that that is a general rule for every bandster. However, I still drink from straw. Every day. Like you, Tahneesamson, I can control my sips better.

Nope no straws gives me to much air upsets my stomach

[MeredithMcFee 98]

I use straws all the time as I feel I can control the gulps too and haven't had a problem so far.

ive been drinking from a straw for a year now. I was told not the first couple if weeks because of the surgery gas, but have had no problems.

I am not yet banded, but during my consultation, the Surgeon told me that after being banded, I should not drink from a straw as it will inflate the stomach with air and cause problems later.

I am six weeks out and I have started to use my straw again. I feel like I can control my sips better. No problems so far.

I was told no staws for the first six months. Then I can try to use it. If there is no problem then I can contiue to use one. It is because a straw brings too much air into your stomach.

I don't remember my Dr. ever saying anything about straws. I drink from them all of the time with no problems. In fact after surgery the nurses brought me Water with a straw for each meal as I stayed over night.

[MoreThanJustaPrettyFace 55]

My nurse gave me a Capri Sun (has a straw) right after my first walk after surgery. Haha

I drink out of a straw. It does help me to sip more plus I don't like putting my lips on glasses when I go out.
