A question of drinking and straws

[Guest guest]

Have heard several of you say it is hard to get in enough water

during the day. First of all - how much is recommended? Secondly,

someone said they use a straw and someone said they thought the straw

made gas. In my past experiences (beginning from a water standpoint

mostly with NutriSystem in 1981) I can consume lots more liquid with

a straw. I was told years ago that when you drink from a glass you

are swallowing as much air(hence gas I wound think) as you are

water. I always use a straw if one is handy (and at home there

always is). BTW - I think I finally got my husband thinking

seriously and I think he will let me do whatever I feel is best. He

will always be concerned however I know what his reaction will be

when I am postop and even more gorgeous than he says I am now

(HAHA)! Waiting for CIGNA to make up their mind and calling them

daily at this point. Take care everyone.
