Question- Should banded people add additional Fiber to theor diets such as Benefiber?:huh: Do these supplements keep you full longer? And if you have no "potty" issues should you still take Fiber? dry.gif

Where do ya'all get your fiber from?

Fiber doesn't keep me full longer, but certainly help with "potty" issues. I use it most days; you can add it to drinks, smoothies, or Cereal. It works pretty quickly on me,now! Karen

I take vitafusion gummies for potty issues. They do not "fill you up" with fiber. The diet pills Anna Nicole Smith was pushing years ago were the type that fill you up with fiber. They say this is how she had lost all that weight, but I believe there are other facts with her .......

When your band is adjusted properly, you will have no need to try to fill up with fiber. In fact, you should not try to. That tiny little pouch needs to be filled with Protein and other foods to get proper nutrition. Reach the green zone and it is smooth sailing :)

I put Benefiber in my coffee every day. You should check with your surgeon to see what they recommend - just in case they prefer you to use something else.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
