Started liquid plan - nauseous... question please?

I started the 2 week pre-op today, I'm already nauseous, can i eat suck on sugar free hard candy, to help, or is that a no-no?

My doc let me suck on sugar free popsicles. Sugar free candy has lots of sugar alcohol in it, which I stay away from. The popsicles count as liquid also. Good luck, it does get better!!
