Pre-op clear liquids-- are Lollipops allowed?

Trying to figure out if I can suck on a lollipop during my pre-op surgery clear liquid diet? My surgery tomorrow morning.....

I really don't think so... lollipops are pure sugar.

Def not pre op, but my surgeon said I could have a maximum of 2 per day post op.

Im sure they might make sugar free lollipops look down the candy lane in the store all kinds of sugar free candies now!

My NUT said sugar free hard candy was fine so I am sure sugar free would be fine. Good luck on your surgery!

Thanks everyone! So I guess no lollipops! Of course, I know they are pure sugar but I was not concerned about that ( at least not at that moment). I wasn't thinking specifically about WLS --- I was thinking of pre surgery fasting in general. If a pre-op patient is allowed Jello they'd probably pick regular Jello -- not sugar free. My thinking was that if a person is allowed regular jello I would think that a lollipop would be ok. Both have a ton of sugar.

I've been doing Clear liquids since 8pm last night....just tired of broth and sugar free jello.... my husband has a stash of lollipops ( he sucks on them all the time!) and I came across it while cleaning....

Thanks again!

I had to take Cipro 2 weeks ago for a severe UTI and it was making me sick and vomit. Around this time, I advanced from liquid to soft so it didn't dawn on me that it was the Cipro until I missed a dose for surgery. Well, when I would vomit, I would get that terrible pill bitterness and I would suck on a See's miniature lollipop and it was the only thing that would get the bitter taste to go away and settle my stomach. Of course I only had one and not the whole box like I would have in the past!!! The vanilla pops were the best at settling my tummy!
