i don't remember them saying we couldn't have gum, just prob make sure you don't swallow it.

you can always call and ask what they say, but i'm sure i had some gum during the 2 week diet.

I hate to tell you but you will have a headache for the first 3 to 5 days on the starvation diet!

WELL..I made it through the first day.....had a headache all evening and my tummy was rumbling up a storm....the shakes are good...not bad at all..and I really like the bars...just a shock as to how little we actually get.....today I will try to save my bar to the evening time to hold me over better.....still haven't really heard too much from anyone about the GUM issue...I ended up having a piece last night...just a nice blast of mint to take my mind off the rumbles in the tummy....13 more sleeps.......

I also bought some Almond and Coconut Extract to add some different favors to the vanilla and the Choc. too.....I am enjoying the Crystal light in my water, but I have to hide it from my kids as they like it too....the hardest part is cooking for the rest of the family and not tasting anything or licking off a finger this morning when making cupcakes with the kids.....oh well...
I did jump on the scales and was daoen a total of 18 lbs from Feb....so another 20 or so pre-surgery will be a nice start to the summer....
