Poll: Vets - Do you take fiber?
I'm 14 months post-op and I don't take fiber supplements, never did. Earlier out, when I was constipated, I found ReViva calcium citrate liquid at Costco. 500 mg of calcium in 1 Tbsp, and it even tastes good. The thing is, it also has magnesium citrate in it, which keeps things moving even if I'm a little short on water ingestion. No constipation here!
Not really a post op Vet only 3+ months out and veggies are enough to keep me regular..... When I did have problems in month 1-2 I used small doses of Miralax the night before. A little Yogurt and or Kefir also keep me moving but its the veggies that were enough to solve this issue daily for me...

I'm 25 months out. If I eat a protein bar, it's an original Quest bar. I eat lots of veggies, GG Brancrisp a few times a week. Some mornings I put a spoon of Benefiber in my decaf. Once a week, if my digestion feels less than optimal I have a capful of Miralax, Costco brand.
The lower carb I eat, the more I want that Benefiber. Drinking enough fluids makes a big difference as well.
