Is Sugar Free Candy Okay?

I was wondering if I am ruining my surgery with sugar free candy (hard candy - s.f. jolly ranchers, life savers, etc). I imagine that a couple a day are okay, but, with my bad habit of probably 10 a day, I am concerned. I have always had an oral fixation, and fear of bad breath, and was a HUGE gum chewer pre-op. I don't really like chewing gum now, as I don't trust myself not to swallow it, so I have resorted to hard candies. HELP!
