I used to have that problem with my teeth (Pre-surgery) for years. I used Sensodyne tooth paste for a few months and it really helped. Just and idea

Really? I've never heard that. Why can't you use straws? A friend of mine drinks with straws all the time and she had the surgery.

Supposedly adds air to your pouch. Most Drs say it is a big no no like gum.

I use a straw for my Protein and for some reason I get more Water in when I drink with a straw.

My dr is okay with that since "it works"

My doc said straws were ok to use. I was given straws while in the hospital after surgery.

Straws can allow air to enter the pouch and that will stretch it out. It sucks.

I'm going to asks doct this week. But I'm thinking it should be ok some months from now just like eating some normal things
