Now before I was banded I would take fiber pills every day or over other day, and my bowel movements were like clock work.. Now since I was banded i stopped taking them because i read somewhere that said that u should not eat foods high in fiber or something.. so i kinda figured that the fiber pills would get stuck.. but I know my stomach is bloated due to me not having the proper eliminations... Now last night i went to the drug store and bought some metamucil fiber pills and i took them last night before I went to bed and i must say I have had about 4 bowel movements already and I have only been up for 2 1/2 hours... I feel so much better... One thing I will say is that u have to tweek somethings, everything is not for everyone... but what i do know is FIBER IS FOR ME:thumbup::incazzato:....LOL... does anyone else take fiber?

Lol!!!!!!!

lol well it did, it reminded me of the bonerjuice commercial on SNL more meaty lol etc:lol:

This thread took an interesting turn!:biggrin2: I have had real constipation problems but I am only a few weeks post op and my doc wants me to avoid salads etc that used to keep me regular. He wants mostly a protein diet at this stage so I am taking 2 stool softeners each night to keep things moving along:redface:

In the post-op healing phase, that's probably a good idea, but when you get back to solid foods, you should really think about putting fibre back in your diet.

And what kinda comercials have YOU been watching??? "bonerjiuce" :behindsofa:

My doc said not to take Fiber pills that expands in the belly cause it could cause pouch to stretch. I have problems going too. Thought about the colonitic also.

Have any of you done a detox cleanse? If so what kind?

I have never done one. My Mom does them all the time, but I don't know if they help. She stays constipated, and she says they help, but I just wonder if she is making it worse.

And what kinda comercials have YOU been watching??? "bonerjiuce" :tongue2:
