Chewing Gum / Breath Freshners



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have issues with gum? I got sugar free and followed all the rules, but it makes my stomach feel weird and gassy. But I need a way to combat ketosis/protein shake breath at work. I also bought a big pack of Whisps to give a try. Any suggestions or tips???

I did the first time I tried it. It was too sweet for me. I have since tried Tridents Cinnamon flavored gum and I am tolerating that better. You might try sugar free peppermints....I used them alot the first week post op.

I had issues with gum too. Instead I used a tongue scraper, listerine, and icebreakers mints.

Does anyone have issues with gum?

hi Donny

My NUT told me never to chew gum - she said if i accidentally swallowed it, I might have "issues"

i asked her again later, and she stood by her "no gum" response

btw - you are doing great - heard your earlier belt story, good for you

You feel/hear the rumbling because your stomach is wondering when the food is going to come on down. :) Chewing gum (or anything you don't eventually swallow) starts the digestion process...creating saliva, etc. You may want to move to mints or the strips like others suggested.

I can chew gum on occasion (sometimes I just need to chew something for a few minutes to get past a craving) but most times it makes me nauseous after just a few minutes.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
