Even 3 cigarettes: daily can be harmful. If the cranberry juice is sweetened it will be full of sugar and cause more harm than it is worth. Please get the blood test and follow doctor's orders, especially after the surgery or you won't be successful. If you cooperate you are much more likely to have a good outcome. Peace and good health.
