SheWi 7 Posted August 15, 2013 I know we're not supposed to do gum due to possibly putting air in our new tummies, but what about sugar free hard candy. Is it okay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIJourney 490 Posted August 16, 2013 It was on my not allowed list for the 1st 2 weeks after surgery due to the reflex of swallowing it. I still haven't had any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmyInOrlando 348 Posted August 16, 2013 yes, I think the reason they tell you no gum or hard candies is if you accidently swallow it, it could be very painful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindymg 629 Posted August 16, 2013 Gosh, I was sucking on sugar-free life savers in the hospital because they wouldn't give me anything to drink until I passed the "leak test." Oops! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
