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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
