I struggled with giving things like that up as well. I ate sugar free jolly ranchers or other sugar free hard candy during the pre op and early post op. I’m 6months post op and if I really need something to suck on occasionally I have a sugar free cough drop. Just be carful with the sugar free candy bc some has a lot of calories per piece.

sugar free popsicles were my life saver during pre/post op. Jello also helped me as well.

Look into Zollipops they’re made with xylitol a sugar alcohol which also helps with dental health. My kids like them.

I found that once I was off the sugar for a few days, it got a lot better. Your body (and even more your mind!) is used to eating sugar.

You won't ruin the pre-op just from a few licks on the lollipop, but try to keep on the diet faithfully. Lots of liquids and keeping busy helped me

Good luck!
