When can I drink through a straw?



Recommended Posts

And where are the "stay on topic" police?

Does it need all that much staying on?

Not to me, but I always get in trouble for straying. :D

Stray away. It makes this forum that much more interesting.

Spoken by the one who introduced the idea of hands into the topic. What a surprise.

Between this and another topic, I'm having fun in BP this a.m., but now I have to go.

I am 10 weeks post and have used a straw(not even aware I was using one...) since 2 weeks out. No problems at all.

Geez! Now I've heard it all...

One person poops staples, another "ignored his/her sleeve" immediately post op for years but suddenly it's back, and YOU drank from a straw unknowingly?

How?!? Lolz... I'm just poking ya'!

Whoa, you have one special place where you drink Water with a straw? Take an aspirin and call me in the morning.

You really said that? Oh, dear Krakow, what have they done to your song? Why not "Is that a frog in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" The first rule always is "Know your audience."

Was that because you confused it with the last song of the 1st act of the play "Hair" and you stripped naked? :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
