Straws

[Swanton_Bomb 522]

So I know straws are no-now because they can introduce air. I just had massive dental work and thought it would be easier to use one to protect my brand new filling from the cold. Worth the risk or not for a day or two?

check with your surgeon. I chewed gum yesterday even tho it is a no no because i was flying and didnt want to be in pain from the air pressure.. and i would do it again if i was flying but not regularly.. it made me gassy and i could feel myself swallowing air.

Ok so I was all gung ho for straws after surgery because there was no real science behind it stretching the sleeve/pouch but these days in rarely use them and I have a sneaking suspicion I have a larger capacity size. Related? IDK but it was the only rule I readily broke...

Enter into Strawville fully aware of the risks of never wanting to leave

Give it a try. If you get gas pains, stop.

Straws and gum here. I do follow the no carbonated drinks rule tho.

The surgical group I use allows straws. They even gave me a cup with a straw in the hospital.

I use straws all the time and do not have a problem actually my team never said not to use straws. If it works for you and doesn't cause any issues I say go for it.

The only reason my team said not to use straws is because it can cause you to suck in air, and it can give you gas pains. Well, I use straws everyday, and I don't have any issue. Now, once the drink is empty, don't keep sucking on the straw to get the last little bit out, cause that can be uncomfortable.

Not saying you should... but when I was in the ER they made me drink like 33oz of Water and CT contrast super fast through a straw and I had no issues. *shrug* I really prefer straws... cold stuff hurts my front teeth. I'm avoiding them though. For now.
