thunderstorm816 0 Posted May 7, 2008 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.

LisaB411 0 Posted May 7, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizbuff 0 Posted May 7, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bpenney 1 Posted May 7, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hastings 3 Posted May 7, 2008 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.

thunderstorm816 0 Posted May 7, 2008 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.
