Benefiber for fullness?

[RainbowBrite57 153]

I've recently started adding a serving of Benefiber to my 2 Premier Protein shakes a day & it's helping me feel fuller longer as opposed to just the Protein Shake. Does anyone else do this? Just curious. 😀

not Benefiber - but I've done it with plain Metamucil (for those early out, Benefiber is safer than Metamucil if you need extra Fiber for whatever reason. I was allowed to do either once I was a few months out).

I actually learned that trick from my former PCP (from way before I had WLS). She's not heavy, but she said she's ALWAYS struggled with keeping her weight down. Since her main problem time was at night, she'd have a beverage with Metamucil in it after eating dinner. It usually kept her full until bed time.

I add 2 tablespoons Benefiber to my large bottle of Crystal light each day. Good question about fullness! I was doing it to avoid taking Miralax.

I didn’t realize that fiber helps keep you full. I mix it in my crystal light three times a day though to keep me regular but that is a pleasant side effect.
