I drank out of a straw!!!! 

I am feeling great and have lost 6 pounds since surgery!  Yeah!  I so miss chewing! Coffee too! 

How is everyone else doing this Tuesday!

I almost did that the other day and I stopped myself halfway through the first sip.  I realized how much water I took in prior to actually getting the water.  I barely have room for the minimum liquids much less extra, uncomfortable air!

But if it works for you and you're ok with it, then so be it.

As long as there's no problem...in the beginning I kept swallowing air which hurt =(

I have accidently used straws too much to the chagrin of my wife and no problem.
