Anybody have a problem drinking out of straws after surgery?

Nope. But I did wait til I was about 6-8 weeks post op.

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.

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.

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.

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

I used straws too. I was able to get in more fluids that way. I had no problems.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
