The doctor I work for wanted me to ask this question on here. Has anyone tried eating swedish fish??..u know the Gummy red fish candy. It is fat free and sometimes I get this craving for something sweet and I wanted one and she said I couldn't have one. Was wondering if anyone has tried one and if they think it would possibly get stuck and cause u to have to have a EGD done to remove it.... Input would be appreciated.

I don't know about Swedish Fish in particular, but several people in my Dr's LapBand support group said the other day that they can eat those Gummy fruit Snacks without any problem. I think they are softer than the fish though.

I can't imagine trying to chew one of those enough to get it to go down. i love swedish fish, Gummy bears, etc. but I won't ever be eating them again.

I love swedish fish and have been wanting to try them for a while now but I am worried about them getting stuck. I dont have problems with any food ever getting stuck so I think I might be OK but I am too scared to try. I would love to be able to eat skittles too but that awhole other isssue!

No Swedish Fish for me! I haven't tried, but I had a problem with Gummy bears and they are softer than the fish..............too scared of the pain it could cause!

Seems to me, if you cut one fishy up into dime-size portions, you could easily chew, swallow, and not worry about them. Of course, eating a whole one is probably going to get stuck.

Sooo . . . Some people have got them stuck and some people haven't. All you have to do is ask yourself "Do I feel lucky today?"

Remember maybe some people who eat them may be without restriction, in which case they can eat just about anything.

It might be a good opportunity to find a more healthy substitute.:)

I do pretty good with eating the healthy food and staying away from the junk food. Just every once in while u get a craving for something sweet ( especially around that time of the month) and u just need that sweet little snack. I love swedish fish too but I am too afraid to try one for fear of getting it stuck. And I certainly don't want to have a tube shoved down my throat to retrieve it LOL.

I eat my kids' Gummy bear Vitamins sometimes with no problem. Don't know anything about whether Swedish Fish would go down or not though...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
