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.

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.
