Does anyone know if you can eat the Fiber yummiest after surgery?

Not sure how far out you are talking. Right after surgery, no gummies but once you are on regular diet, it' s ok.

I did. I was sleeved on the 27th. Just chewed and chewed. I was told chewable vitamins ok

What brand of fiber supplements are people using? I tried the clear stuff, benefiber, but that is doing nothing but giving me the worst cramps with no results. I would like to be able to take some rougher fiber, psyllium or similar. Thanks in advance.

I'm a little concerned about being able to chug a glass of Metamucil before it turns to cement. We hve been doing 2 vitafusion fiber gummies since the beginning and they are working well for us.

My doctor recommended milk of magnesia for Constipation. The bottle says it will make you go "cramp free" in 30 minutes to 6 hours. I just drank it and it's absolutely disgusting. I am going to go get fiber gummies because I don't want to go through this again and I took the lowest dosage on the bottle...

Try a cap of Miralax with your Protein Drink each day. It is non-habit forming and safe to take long term. Doesn't promote the cramping.

Philips also makes magnesium pills that are quite effective and not icky since you swallow with Water. But the gummies are just plain yummy

Milk of magnesia does work but I cannot bring myself to drink it again. So awful. Drinking that is the only time I've nearly thrown up since I've come home from the hospital.

Try these caplets Instead http://www.amazon.com/Phillips-Laxative-Caplets-100-Count/dp/B001KYVL08/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378087853&sr=8-1&keywords=Philips+magnesium

Try these caplets Instead http://www.amazon.co...ilips magnesium

Are these small enough to swallow or can they be cut in half? I am still a couple of weeks post-op.
