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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
