Question:
Is it okay for post-ops to suck on sugar free suckers or lifesavers?

I know some will say it is a waste of calories. But I like to have a piece or so thru the day. Old habits die hard.....*wink*. But sugar free is better than an entire candy bar that we used to eat!!!

Just remember that sugar free doesn't mean calorie free or carb-free. Also be aware that some of the sweeteners in the sugar-free stuff causes a terrible laxative effect in some people.
