Constipation: Is That Normal?

    Ditto what Kimaly said. It is very common for us bandsters to have constipation issues along the way. I take Vita fusion brand fiber gummies so I don't have the problem. Even with taking something

  • Just make sure that you get plenty of fiber, add some to your liquids if you need to . I do every now and then. I have had an ongoing problem for the last 2 1/2 years since banding, it has now seeme

were you on liquids for a day or so?? that would slow you up.

I take Vita fusion brand fiber gummies so I don't have the problem. Even with taking something for it, it is very normal to not go daily. Sometimes there is just not enough volume of solids going through your system to make it through every day.

Just make sure that you get plenty of fiber, add some to your liquids if you need to . I do every now and then. I have had an ongoing problem for the last 2 1/2 years since banding, it has now seemed to work itself back to normal. Hope that you get going again!!Karen
