Warnings of Benefiber and Metamucil Taking fiber therapy without adequate fluid intake can lead to esophageal blockage and choking. Do not take these products if you have difficulty swallowing. If you experience chest pain, vomiting, or difficulty in swallowing or breathing, seek medical attention immediately. Not sure why it did that..... maybe i over think??

tbh I am scared of fiber supplements because of the warning about choking.. I know it seems weird but since the surgery a few things freak me out and choking is one.. since i cant gulp water down with it.. does that make sense?

this helped as well... ty! I am game for trying things... I use the Baritastic app.. i just redownloaded the my fitness last night, ooh my how that changed and it showed i hadnt used it since 2019, i was 225..my surgery was in 2020 and i was 228, im now 169.. thats where i have been 1 year out of the surgery.. ♥

ty! I do track almost daily.. i need to do daily. I average 1200 sometimes a bit under some a bit over... my PCP *who has also had the surgery* said between 1200-1500, I am not comfortable even trying 1500 lol .. i will try these times and give this a shot... ty ♥

Best of luck! It really is a good tool to help get where you need to be.. stay in touch here so we can see how you are doing ♥

I have had IBS my entire life, the opposite end of it, this constipation is new and it sux... Barely eat as it is so I dunno I will look thru everything here.. I wish I had found here a long time ago.. thank you for responding

Thank you, Yes I am stable in my weight and have been since the surgery BUT I want to lose about 20lbs more I just want to know the caloric intake and how many oz to eat, how many meals a day? etc I am so frustrated that I have no help... I had an eating schedule 10 am breakfast 1 pm lunch 5 pm dinner with 7am yogurt and 8 pm yogurt *but then i was told by a family member in the medical field, they have never seen anyone with this surgery have a "schedule"* So I stopped the schedule and gained 5lbs, so back on it i went Thank you so much for your reply

Hi, I had VSG 2/10/2020.. since then I have been on the journey alone.. SW 228 CW 169. I have no clue how to eat, what to eat, how many calories etc... My surgeons office is no help, Saw him Feb 1 2022, sent a message to the dietician Feb 2 2022, still no response. I will be having my 3rd CT scan tomorrow the 15th as I had some massive pains at the largest incision that started July last yr 2021.. The pain feels like hernia but was told there isn't one there.. will see what this CT shows if anything. When I asked my surgeon about the constipation *coffee 1st thing in the AM has helped A LOT* My surgeon told me not his specialty and to talk to my PCP! Thankfully she has had the same surgery and told me to do Collace, did that for a week but it upset my intestines, Miralax gave me horrible cramps after 1 year of use.. Maybe I will figure out what I am supposed to do one day lol. I haven't regained but maybe 4ish lbs.. I dislike food, it consists of eggs, deli turkey or chicken, spinach.. veggies.. sugar free everything & fat free as well.. thank you all for listening
