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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
