Hello everyone. Do any of you take PGX fiber capsules to help you feel full? Would this stuff stretch the pouch?

Granted this is strictly my opinion, but being as we're not supposed to be eating until we're full when banded it seems extremely counter productive to take a pill to do exactly that.

I would definitely ask your surgeon before taking it.

I though I was supposed to eat until I felt full. Am I doing this wrong?

It's ok, it's a pretty common misconception

Have a look at this link, it does a GREAT job explaining it all, including how if you're eating until you're full you're likely eating too much: http://drsimpson.net...estriction.html

You need to be careful with fibre. If the pill doesnt go through the band and sits in your pouch as some pills do then it can expand in the pouch and clog the stoma. I take a fibre that dissolves in water to minimize the risk of that happening.

You can get the granules...I use them to keep me regular.

How many granule packets do you take each day ? Do you take them on an empty stomach ?

I have 1 prior to each meal in a glass of crystal light...it really keeps me "moving"

Have you tried the PGX gel caps ?

No way...they are far too large for me
