I am almost 5 months out from RNY and can tolerate just about anything. I was wondering if Polenta is OK to eat. Just looking for something a little different.
Thanks
I did not have any issues with diarrhea or anything. I just stayed to clear liquids broth jello and popcicles i had the benifit that my family made it a point not to eat around me that helped. I think you will be ok just fill up on liquids. Good luck i am 1 week post op and it has not been easy but i am still optimistic
I use 2 tablespoons of the powder in my shake every morning. In theory, it keeps my stool firm? Then I use miralax which keeps my bowels moving.
That's the theory at least...

Ha ha Gwen, I have those moments just for waking up in the moment (oh my old momma brain)
Do not skip your fiber, not fun (trust me).
Okay, so Benefiber... Do you just the tablets or powder, with what liquid?
I went to the store to grab a fiber supplement and got overwhelmed. I've read all about it online, but just looking for testimonies from others on their favorites.

Well, I'm about a week out from starting my "pre-op" period where I go all liquid. I'm looking on tips on how to handle this, what works best for satisfying and helping with cravings, etc. Also, any tips on how my body is likely to respond to the liquid period. I'm a trial attorney and I have trials scheduled for that period, so I'm trying to prepare myself as well as possible.
I read this and had a big "what the heck" moment. I've been using Benefiber in my shakes since day 1. Why? I have no clue.
Maybe I should skip it for a week and see what happens.

You are less than a week out, your body is trying to adjust to all the changes. Don't give up, it will get better! Are you getting in all of your fluids? How about protein, how many grams are you able to take in? Are you still on a liquid diet or are you starting to add in puréed foods?
