This may be a dumb question...but, I haven't read or heard anything about people having problems with bowels,or fiber intake? Is it a non-issue? I am a nurse and I guess I am a bit curious as a matter of habit. I have not been banded yet., My insurance requires 1 more month with the nutritionist. Thanks

I had issues w constipation on liquid .. no fiber was in anything liquid I was drinking once I moved to mushies I was okd to add miralax daily... plus I am reading everything I am eating looking for fiber so its helping, also have a cup of prune juice and a form of beans at least once a day (white, refried, kidney, etc)... I would not say I am regular yet..still on mushies...but getting there..hope that helps...everyone is different tho some have the other problem. ..lol

I was banded in August and I definitely had/have issues with constipation. Every morningbI have an Arbonne protein shake, so I add 1/2 TBSP Benefiber and that takes care of the problem!

I went through benefiber, no help and am now on daily half dose of Miralax. I still have blockage issues 18 months post surgery. It is a work in process.

Thanks for the info.. I just want to,have an idea what to expect, although I know all are different!
