Liquid phase-Metamucil vs Benefiber



Recommended Posts

Has anyone taken Benefiber during the liquid stage to help with hunger? If so, did it make your stomach very bloated? What are you guys doing during the liquid phase to satisfy your hunger? I guess this is the second craving I need help with :mellow:, see previous post, LOL.

Thanks for the help!

I take Benefiber every day, not really to help with hunger, but to keep me regular. I heard it's better to take than Metamucil for band patients, because it doesn't bulk up and get thick and won't stretch your pouch.

You can put Benefiber in anything (I put it in my Decaf coffee) and you won't taste it.

Some of the Protein Shakes have added Benefiber (Boost and Carnation Instant Breakfast, for example). I use Benefiber, now that I'm on a regular diet, because I can't get nearly the amount of Fiber that is recommended.

      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.
