Gum during liquid diet is a no no?

[ChristinasSleeveStory 44]

I feel like I've read people posting that gum can't be chewed during liquid diet. I wasn't told that by my surgeon. Why would you not be allowed to chew gum?

sugar free is probably okay, but after surgery they want you to stay away from it because it ends up putting a bunch of air in your stomach.

I chewed sugar free gum the whole pre op diet . I was very careful not to swallow it . It was a very helpful and didn't make me hungry at all .
