Who's taking fiber? Warning TMI

[chycky 671]

Hello, almost week 4 post-op. Have been off and on but mostly "regular" enough. But after, let's just say an event, where I weighed myself because at day 3 of having not gone I thought, "that MUST be a pound lost!" (No such luck btw). I thought I cannot do that again, I mean I have not given birth but that must have been close.

So not to get too detailed (fleet). Let's talk prevention. Anyone doing the Fiber mix that you can supposedly mix in Water with no taste? How are they are non-fiber carbs?

Thanks!

I have IBSD....no real solid bowel movements...so I'm wondering if this will change after surgery?? I also heard from my Dr today that the more of your small intestines that gets cut off the worse you're going to have dumping syndrome and diarrhea???

He told me there was 3 different lengths that they cut off depending on your body type and BMI....but again... The more that gets cut off the more that You're gonna have issues???

But he also told me... The more that they cut off ...the more weight that you will lose...

I had IBS preop but no problems post op. I have had severe Constipation but now I add one spoon of flaxseed to my Breakfast or smoothie and go normally every day.
