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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
