Darbyjack 5 Posted November 6, 2012 I had sugar free gum and hard candy. Be careful tho, the sugar free has sorbital (spelling) and that makes ya run to the bathroom. And on the liquid diet, you need no help in that area HA Good Luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted November 6, 2012 Well it's not a liquid so my guess would be no. You'd have to ask your surgeon to be sure, each one has their own rules to follow. I'd just ask him to be safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sman342 13 Posted November 7, 2012 The liquid diet really isn't that bad. In fact, I lost most weigh post op while healing my stomach from surgery. It's a time where you (and here's where I get corny) find yourself liberating from food. I felt very empowered realizing I can do this. PS - 2 favorite shakes are chocolate (powdered) powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and GNC has a ready to drink Swiss chocolate.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hely88 883 Posted November 7, 2012 If your doctor didnt give you details I would suggest you call him or speak to the nurse. it is really important to know what you doctor allows and doesnt allow. We all can give you suggestion and are glad to, but what matters most is you follow your doctor's rules. Stay strong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 7, 2012 Thank you! I probably better call an find out just to be sure... Best way to be sure.... I was allowed the Optifast shakes, caffeine free tea, Water, crystal light, and broth if I REALLY needed it. My excitement for those 2 weeks was the 25 calorie sugar free Popsicle I was allowed daily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
