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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
