I was told to never use a straw bc it allows for air to fill your pouch instead of what your drinking.

I triple checked this info bc I LOVE drinking with a straw!!

Yep and I can say its true. I was drinking with a straw and had horrible gas pain. Now I know better:)

Surgery was Monday. So far so good but still having a lot of gas pain. What have others found helpful for that? They also found two hernias and repaired them so I have a bit more pain than expected, but doing ok. Protein Shakes, Water & broths are going down fine. Might try going to my daughters ball practice tonight & walk around the field (walking through the house is getting pretty boring)

It really is interesting how different our doctors are. I won't have stitches they use glue. And I don't have the blue ice chip test. They do the leak test while I'm still in surgery.

Oh well! Good luck to everyone tomorrow. I'm starting to freak out a bit. But I know it's for the best.

I have steri-strips! And they did the leak test while I was in surgery also!

Oh come on!! We had surgery on the same day! And I can't have tuna till after next week. Than any other meat has to be pureed! I'm living off low fat cheese, refried Beans, cottage cheese, and yogurt. I'm dreaming of tuna!
