Hi all,

Has anybody tried eating gummy snacks, like the welches fruit snacks? They have SF ones and I was wondering if anybody has had them and how they go down. I am still in mushy stages, and was just curious. Thanks!

You could try them. They are a little bit different of a texture compared to like striahgt gummy bears. I have had sugar free gummy bears and it was no bueno. There is no way to chew them enough. But I do know the kind you are talking about are a bit easier to chew up. I just haven't had them yet.

I've had the fruit Snacks since being banded. Even with decent restriction from this second fill. I chew them REALLY well and then suck on the pieces for a minute. They pretty much melt after a while and go down just fine. They actually go down a lot easier than a bunch of other stuff.

But, that being said, I am very careful about making sure they are chewed and melted to a liquid state before I swallow. No way do I want to get one of those puppies stuck in the band!

I've been taking the children's chewable gummy vitamins since being banded. They are so good, its like having a treat while I get my vitamins. I just have to make sure I don't eat more than I am allowed!

I have no problems whatsoever with those, never had them stuck, I just make sure I chew them really well.
