Topic: RE: fiber gummies?

I was wondering if fiber gummies would be alright to take for extra fiber? almost 3 months out. I dont ike the idea of taking pills to be regular. Nor do I want to drink miralax everyday. for the most part i can go on my own, but was just curious if those would be ok to add ?

Topic: RE: Portions @ 3 1/2 weeks postop . . .

At 3 weeks i was at 1/4 cup. Now at just over 2 months im at 1/2 cup. But everyone's doctor is different! I guess as long as you feel comfortable thats what really matters.

Topic: RE: amounts of food

I was wondering if I eat 3 oz of chicken is that all i am supposed to eat at a meal or am i to have that plus something else? I dont feel hungry most of the time and dont get the full feeling very often either.. I dont want to mess up in any way. I am a little over 2 months out.

thanks .
