Is it true? No Drinking From A straw

[imblessed333 0]

My doctor told me it was protical for my tray to have a straw on it when I am in the hospital. But he said do not use it. I only drink with a straw now. It is good to hear so many of you use a straw after surgery. I hope I can after I have my surgery.

Mine said no straw. It said right after surgery I would be given a straw while in the hospital (which I wasn't) but then no straw. I have forgot a few times and drank from a straw and had no trouble. I have a doctor appt. on Monday and I'm going to ask my doctor why?

They make to big a deal about the straws. If you don't have a problem sucking in alot of air, then you should be fine. They got me paranoid over it, and finally I tested it, and I was fine. If you get air bubble problems, don't use, otherwise you should be fine. Best, L

I use straws no problem. Just use caution until you find if it works for you.

I drink straws all the time. I am fine! I dont believe they give you more air. I can drink more WITH a straw!!

I know for me personally it would make those yucky Protein Shakes go down alot smoother with a straw. I may try using one today, and see what happens.
