kiya2te 26 Posted September 25, 2017 Hey hey. Just found out this morning that I got a surgery date. 10/9/17!! I'm super excited. I started my liquid diet yesterday because I received my insurance letter on Sat with an inpatient date of 9/28. When I spoke to the scheduler she said they had to put an arbitrary date for insurance but will call them and update it. I can't wait to be on the losers bench. I'm staying positive that these next two weeks on liquid only will fly by. Question...are we allowed to chew sugar-free gum during the liquid diet?? Any feedback will be appreciated. Thx 1 LillieDuFran reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LillieDuFran 127 Posted September 26, 2017 Congratulations! I'm 10/5. I don't know about gum before, just not after. No straws after. I've been on 2 wk pre op since Thursday. Down 14 lbs. Sent from my XT1575 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaestroswife 62 Posted September 26, 2017 Congrats! I think it's so weird how the diets vary from doctor to doctor. I have one day pre op liquids only diet. 2 LillieDuFran and kiya2te reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was on Optifast and some vegetables for 2 weeks. It was the hardest part of this journey for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
