I used Benefibe for a couple of weeks and did not find that it helped much. I then tried Milk of Magnesia (MOM) and found relief.

milk of magnesia is the most awful tasting stuff i've ever tried, i'd have to be reeeeaaaalllly constipated to drink that again!

For me, the benefibre worked well only if I drank a ton of Water. I liked the idea that you can put it in anything and not taste it at all.

the MoM is so disgusting; I tried it once and I swear....NEVER again...no matter what!!

I do use Benefibre in my Protein drinks and therefore I don't taste it. However when I've tried it in Water (nothing else)...I do find it quite gritty and to me it tastes gross....but as I said ...in my Protein Drink I don't even know it is there!

Loriely, you should PM Mandi, she's an expert. I find the whole website totally confusing!!

Let me know if you're successful signing up for the Canadian lap band site, Loriely. I tried once and wasn't accepted and I can't even contact them to ask why (because I already applied. Go figure.)

Me too!!! Me too!!!, i even spoke to Marie at DR.Cobourn's office, she said she would talk to the moderater for me, still nothing, i guess they don't want us there, or else they need to get a new moderater.

Maria:)

HMmmmm I don't get what the problem is. I signed up for that site wayyyy back (before I was banded even) and I was on it immediately (okay, well a few hours). Of course, I haven't been back since about May.....WAAAAY non-user friendly!!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
