Elahnen 183 Posted December 6, 2021 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. 2 Sunnyway and Weewee70 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mswillis5 127 Posted December 6, 2021 sugar free popsicles were my life saver during pre/post op. Jello also helped me as well. 3 Weewee70, Sunnyway and Maisey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starwarsandcupcakes 2,070 Posted December 6, 2021 Look into Zollipops they’re made with xylitol a sugar alcohol which also helps with dental health. My kids like them. 2 lizonaplane and Weewee70 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizonaplane 1,613 Posted December 6, 2021 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!
