I was going thru my papers and found something that I thought was interesting and wanted to share with everyone. My dietician had put a paper in my folder that said to get the unflavored clear metamcil and add it to my protien shakes. It says something about it will help you feel fuller longer. She said that several of her patients have tried this and said it worked. Just wondering if anyone else has tried it?

Is this before or after banding? My surgeon said not to take any bulk fibers after surgery at all because they can block you up. If this is pre op then it makes sense.

I dont know about drinking it to help keep you full. But I sure in the heck drink it to help keep me regular! I didnt post op for the first 5 months and paid for it with a very painful surgery to the back side. OUCH!!!!!!!!!! Make fiber a part of your daily diet.

yes it is in the pre-op part of the diet. I tried it today and it seems to have kept me fuller about another thirty minutes or so. :frown:

I am post-op and have just started using Benefiber in my food and drinks. Seems to make me feel less bloated.
