cincykat 34 Posted April 12, 2013 Anybody have a problem drinking out of straws after surgery? Nope. But I did wait til I was about 6-8 weeks post op. Sent from my iPad using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magpie30 187 Posted April 12, 2013 No problems, but like others, i waited till i was at 4 weeks out, and was careful. Biggest part is it's easy to drink to much to fast, so just be careful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuzanneRoupas 18 Posted April 13, 2013 I have used them for about the last 3 days for shakes and some liquids. No probs. I find I drink more (quantity wise) so that is a good thing. No pain or gas. 2 Hnybear5150 and Tink22-sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasMiss 314 Posted April 13, 2013 Ive used a straw since I got home from surgery. I tried but I can't drink out of a cup without gulping air because I never drink out of a cup. I went from a baby bottle to a straw in my momma's cup lol. It works for me. 3 Hnybear5150, dlashanne and Tink22-sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hnybear5150 43 Posted April 13, 2013 Texas! MEEE TOOO!! I cannot drink without a straw. Paulina- I dont get gas or bloat. I think it all depends on whether you can handle it or not. I breathe out the air in my mouth through my nose when I swallow....but I've always done that. Good luck 2 Tink22-sleeve and TexasMiss reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tink22-sleeve 528 Posted April 13, 2013 I used straws too. I was able to get in more fluids that way. I had no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heatwhip 166 Posted April 15, 2013 I asked my nut about it and she said they say not to use it is because you can easily take too big of a sip with a straw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
