The great straw debate!



Recommended Posts

And to keep it on track -

Straws are bad!!!

(Or good... whichever side is winning...)

I believe 'good' is winning in this particular thread. As it should be. So you chose the wrong side.

Don't do it again.

Preferably padded.

And white.

Oh the fun that could be had in a padded room...

Sounds like the proper place to wait for someone to give you a "heads up".

I use a straw everyday. My Surgeon and nut told us that straws can cause excess air in your pouch which can make things uncomfortable. They said gum, early on, can get stuck. Never anything about "stretching."

You must be bypass because sleevers don't have pouches. :D

Let me know if you need some company. I've got nothing going on until Monday.

My pouch makes me feel so damn special in the midst of all of you cool sleevers!

I hope I'm not stretching it by drinking this Jones Zilch vanilla Bean soda. From the bottle. With a straw. :huh:

What's happening Monday?

The First Annual "Straws are Good" Awareness Benefit. Or the end of a 10 year long vacation. One of the two...

But probably the former!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
