I don't remember anyone mentioning straws when I had mine out (all four at once under a general anaesthetic). The first food they gave me was ice-cream, or rather that peculiar frozen stuff rather like hair mousse in texture that passes for ice-cream in schools and hospitals. I had fasted for far longer than necessary (I was supposed to be first on the morning list and eventually went to theatre rather after lunch) and by that point I would have eaten anything.
