BBdoodle 483 Posted July 27, 2012 awesome... how are you feeling? My doctor was very clear on the fact that I do not use a straw. I see in you pic. that you are sipping liquids which is good but from a straw is a no-no. From what I understand a straw allows a lot more air in. I was a big soda drinker with a straw because a straw is a good thing on NON - RNY patients because it bypasses your teeth and your teeth don't get stained as much. I do miss my straw You will be so happy to get home and relax.. the worst is over with !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dstollery 290 Posted July 27, 2012 Ohh I was never told a no no with a straw but will x it just in case! Thank u for the advice! I was in the hospital 4 days and feeling ok, but got a 2.5 hour drive so we are taking stop and walk breaks on the way and I am hanging the pain meds ATM.

jenneliza 257 Posted July 27, 2012 Oh yeah, nix that straw they are a big no-no! They can distend the pouch due to excess air which can lead to stretching (and more gas!) I was told they are forbidden forever after rny. Glad you are feeling better and you are a smartie for taking walking breaks to avoid DVT and gas! It is always better to be home where you are more comfortable. Congrats again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
