milk, yogurt and.... chewing gum??

[chubby funster]

Hi all!

Day one of milk and yogurt diet nearly over, I have the yuckiest taste in my mouth, do you know if chewing gum is permitted?

I can't ring my team as its too late :-(

Help save me from spilt milk on carpet mouth!!!

not a problem pre-op as long as its sugar free

Im limited to 3 pieces a day on the milk diet.

I must admit I have a load of sugar free gum lots of flavour & no naughties. I find when I need to snack (head hunger) it stops it so quickly I may have to do that a lot on the milk diet but it's amazing how much it helps.

Its ketosis yucky but shows you are doing the right things,mouthwash is good.

I found sucking on a lemon or chewing some parsley helped when I had a furry tongue, pre op. Also making sure I had lots of water also helped.

i would try and give up the chewing gum as post op its not allowed so might as well start getting used to that

chewing the gum sends signals to the stomach to expect food .............so not a good idea

Gone for breath spray instead. Slight improvement on rancid mouth!!
