Straws!!!
What's your reason for not using a straw now? If straws give you gas and it hurts, then do avoid them. Otherwise, despite what some people seem to think, straws will not hurt you. Won't stretch your pouch or anything like that.

I had problems too ( I've never used a straw before...that's a huge no no from my dr. so she scared me>lol) I couldn't even think of the protien shakes w/o getting sick. I switche to isopure juice ones which where so much better and better on my stomach it was like drinking fruit punch or grape powerade.
What did she say would happen if you used a straw?

from gnc...they are in the refridgerator already made w/40 gram protien 120 calories. or you can buy the powder and make them yourself.
Oh...above comment about straws...The dr was just very adament to tell me never to use one...so where the girls in the support groups so I just never have yet. The only time i would have used them is for ice coffee but since I haven't had any since surgery because caramel swirl is not sugar free! LOL
