Fiber doesn't keep me full longer, but certainly help with "potty" issues. I use it most days; you can add it to drinks, smoothies, or Cereal. It works pretty quickly on me,now! Karen

I take vitafusion gummies for potty issues. They do not "fill you up" with fiber. The diet pills Anna Nicole Smith was pushing years ago were the type that fill you up with fiber. They say this is how she had lost all that weight, but I believe there are other facts with her .......

When your band is adjusted properly, you will have no need to try to fill up with fiber. In fact, you should not try to. That tiny little pouch needs to be filled with Protein and other foods to get proper nutrition. Reach the green zone and it is smooth sailing :)

I put Benefiber in my coffee every day. You should check with your surgeon to see what they recommend - just in case they prefer you to use something else.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
