I will never use a straw again, OMG the air bubble in my airway was painful, thank goodness for a warm cup of hot cocolate, it brought it right up. Whew!!
I drank my clear liquids, broth in a cup and alway eat my soup from a bowl with a spoon, like Willi333 said, you have to feel like you are eating something, because three weeks is a long time!
