3 weeks post op--- using a straw? Eating wonton wrappers?

[MLT 8]

What is the harm if I do either of these early?

Using a straw is likely to fill your sleeve with air. Can't fit in your liquids/foods plus it may cause discomfort and/or pain from the air too. Wonton wrappers may get stuck in your sleeve at this point. I ate just part of one a day or so ago and it gave me a bad belly ache until it digested and moved on out plus I did experience some dumping from the high carbs/fat. It was half of an egg roll. I'm 34 days post op.

My doctor lifts the straw restriction at two weeks for what it's worth. He said as long as it's not causing added discomfort from gas, use it as I please. It never gave me gas, and I was very happy to have my straw back! As for the wonton wrappers...I'm sure they're not on your plan yet. I'm trying to remember my own plan, and I think at four weeks I could have wraps...maybe...but that was still at least four weeks. I would run it by your nut. If you've been tolerating other foods, they may allow it. I do remember my nut telling me my stomach will have an easier time with wraps than breads. But again, ask your nut.
