I have been constipated off and on since banding. :faint::mad:In my pre-banding days, I was extremely regular...no problems at all. :biggrin1: I have tried Benefiber, eating more veggies etc. I saw a commercial for Activia Activia by Dannon that promises to help with digestion in 14 days or your money back. I kept the package just waiting so that I could get my money back!!!

Unfortunately, I can't get my money back...But fortunately ACTIVIA WORKS!!!!! I am REGULAR AGAIN!!!!:clap2::clap2::whoo::whoo::whoo:

Thanks bigbaby for the info. I did try this about maybe six months ago, but did not like the texture or taste so I did not stick it out, but it sounds worth it. I'll give it another try.

Have you tried blending it with your protein drinks or with fruit. I wonder how that would work out?

I use Activia as well, but I have found if I want something that works FASTER I eat fresh pinapple. It is a natural diaretic, just don't go too far that day, trust me...lol...

I drink a 4oz bottle of Gerber baby Apple Prune Juice.

Those of you who use Benefiber, what do you mix it in with?

I know what you mean about keeping the Activia package for the refund. I had to throw mine out at about day 6. This stuff works!!!!! I even tried the prune one and loved it (but I also love real prunes). Now I have to be careful about how much I eat of it in a week because I was, lets say "regular", two or three times per day.

I mix benefiber in my drink (Bottle water, juice, milk).

It dissolves into nothingness.. no taste, no texture

I eat activia at least 4 days a week and I take fiber chews and I eat veggies.... I still am not regular. I think its the calcium I am taking because I already get a lot from the cheese and milk I eat. I heard that calcium can stop you up. I am going to try magnesium and see if it helps.
