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!!!!

      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.
