I am Pre-Band. In order to bring my cholesterol down I eat oatmeal every morning, but especially for colon health.

With the Band, is something like Benefiber which can be disolved in Water and mushies allowed in the diet to keep one regular seeing that thick textured food is scant.

Or perhaps the Benefiber expands in the pouch)I have no clue) and it is not allowed??

Something like Activia is not recommended since smooth foods are not filling and have calories.

How do you get your Fiber to maintain colon health?

I use Benefiber in my water at least twice a day. You can't use Metamucil as it swells.

I agree with momcof3, you should avoid the phylum types bc they can swell in the pouch. Benefiber is a staple for many bandsters

Benefiber tabs and Fiber One bars are a staple for me...
