I agree with Elode. It's soft and will pass. I can't chew gum anymore. I have tried but I can't. :(

Your sleeve is still a tube so the gum should push on through. I remember the first time I ate Peanut Butter post op. There was no way I could hold enough Fluid to wash it down. I waited a long time before I tried it again. At about six weeks I swallowed a tangrine seed and lived to tell about it. I still have not tried popcorn at a year out, and probably won't.

OH NO! It will stick to your ribs! Well, that's what my mother always told me.

I was told not to chew gum as it brings air in our tummy's and can cause painful gas. As for the bit you swallowed; this too will pass. :rolleyes:

Thank you guys and my doctor told me I can no longer have any type of corn popcorn regular corn anything corn because corn contain sugar even though I can't eat solids the nutritionist at the doctors told me you never again can I have corn or rice or dried fruit nothing that can expand in your stomach so that's I don't know maybe why I freaked out with the gun but so far I seem good a little bit I felt pressure in my chest but I seem to be fine now

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
