Metamucil anyone???



Recommended Posts

I was going thru my papers and found something that I thought was interesting and wanted to share with everyone. My dietician had put a paper in my folder that said to get the unflavored clear metamcil and add it to my protien shakes. It says something about it will help you feel fuller longer. She said that several of her patients have tried this and said it worked. Just wondering if anyone else has tried it?

Is this before or after banding? My surgeon said not to take any bulk fibers after surgery at all because they can block you up. If this is pre op then it makes sense.

I dont know about drinking it to help keep you full. But I sure in the heck drink it to help keep me regular! I didnt post op for the first 5 months and paid for it with a very painful surgery to the back side. OUCH!!!!!!!!!! Make Fiber a part of your daily diet.

yes it is in the pre-op part of the diet. I tried it today and it seems to have kept me fuller about another thirty minutes or so. :frown:

I am post-op and have just started using Benefiber in my food and drinks. Seems to make me feel less bloated.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
