Sports Bottle top vs straw
I like to reuse my water bottles a few times and I have found the water bottles with the sport tops I can drink so much easier. Do you think that would be ok after surgery so I can be sure I get all my liquids in?

I was watching Oprah years ago. That particular show was about fillers, botox, etc., and one of Oprah's guests was a dermatologist. This doctor said she noticed several years ago, she has a large NYC practice, that she was beginning to see a large number of younger women, 30ish, who were coming to her with wrinkling beginning around their mouths. She said these were professionals, very active with many being runners. It was happening so frequently she began wondering why are these younger women developing wrinkling around their mouths at such young ages. She began looking for commonalities within these women. What she discovered was all these women were active, and they all used sports bottles when exercising in order to stay hydrated. She firmly believed it was the puckering of the mouth and muscles used when drinking from these bottles that was leading to the premature formation of early wrinkling. The same muscles/mouth position is used when using straws.
She made a believer out of me. I do not use either straws or sports bottles. I never forgot the show. I was in my forties when I saw that episode and took her advice. Some may not believe it can cause wrinkling...just by using those bottles. But she stressed these were very active women who apparently exercised a lot and used those bottles to drink all the time.
Just a little info for anyone who is interested.
We have a soda stream (make pop/soda at home) and the bottles are very heavy duty plastic with wide mouths. I love them...32 ounces each and I fill up a couple with my water and crystal lite and have most of my water for the day. Easy to clean with a scrubby brush. I dont like straws but I need the wide mouth bottle I get less air that way.
