You should actually stay away from food and drink with high sucrose/glucose content - especially sodas and candy - whilst recovering from any oral surgery. Excessive exposure to the mouth and wound sites can cause all sorts of problems. Regardless of that, you're absolutely correct about staying away from straws!
