Ideally fiber increase should be done with fruits, vegetables, and nuts. However, since you need results a bit faster than in a few months, you can use an over the counter fiber supplement like “BeneFiber”.
That should get things going for you. Remember, your water intake, keep drinking.
 Best of luck!

You can mix with water, soymilk, lowfat or nonfat milk. I throw in frozen strawberries, mixed fruit or mangos. Sometimes I use crystal lite flavors with crushed ice and blend. It's really good. Isopure has no sugar and 2 scoops is 50 grams of protein. It's a little expensive at the stores, but you can find it cheaper online.

Hi all... Well, I went through the surgery 4 days ago and am feeling so much better already. I actually posted up the night before the surgery from the hospital inn where we were staying and then again just 15 minutes that next morning before I left and went to check in for surgery. The doc found a "really big" hiatial hernia and had to fix that first, but the LAP-BAND® went off good. I'm still in pain, with a little gas remaining, but the shoulders are finally just about normal again and the sore throat is getting better. I ran fevers and had a lot of pain, and ended up staying in the hospital an extra night. But I'm doing better now. I am glad, too, because I have to fly to Vegas from Atlanta on Thursday...less than a week after the surgery. I can't imagine being there and not eating everything I see. But I don't even want it anymore. I hope that loss of interest in food remains long term. I have to keep forcing myself to eat.

I'm waiting on a surgery date-hopefully late June. Can't wait to start losing the weight but am a little anxious since it is life altering. I just keep looking at my photo on my fridge of me now, and that keeps me motivated!!

Well, I'm settled in my hospital room in Mexico, next up for surgery. I am very impressed by the doctors and staff and the room is very comfortable. It has two beds, a tv, refrigerator, Vonage phone, computer and internet. And I'm down 20 pounds (plus about 3 because I'm wearing clothes) since I started my 2 week pre-op diet.

Yay, I'm home!!! Yesterday, I flew home from Detroit, having been banded by Dr. John Webber of Great Lakes Weight Loss. I am so happy with my experience there, and am feeling fine and 99.99999% pain free. I'm enjoying two more days of "vacation" until I return to work on Monday. I guess that the journey has just begun; but so farm it's been wonderful. | |
