nat3185 1 Posted June 19, 2013 I had the sleeve done seven weeks ago. I remember my nutritionist and/or dr. said not to drink out of a straw. Does anyone remember how long we can't drink out of a straw? Is it three months? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouiseC 1,031 Posted June 19, 2013 Every surgeon and nutritionist seems to say something different. I was told it was fine to use a straw but just don't be an idiot basically. So I used a straw to sip and it was all good, I was careful not to suck up air. I used a straw from the day of discharge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking three months. I get it, not to suck up air or chug it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouiseC 1,031 Posted June 19, 2013 Of course, what my surgeon told me was advice for me, I would not recommend you follow advice that contradicts what your surgeon told you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molly3 495 Posted June 19, 2013 They had me use a straw in the hospital. Every surgeon has a different protocol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicki s 146 Posted June 20, 2013 I felt like I swallowed more air without the straw, so went to the straw almost immediatly and felt better...ask the doc and see what he says... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
