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.

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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
