Question:
Does anyone use the new BeneFiber or Fiber Choice sugar free chewable?
I have always taken a psyllium based fiber to stay regular and healthy. I haven't since surgery. I just wondered about these newer fiber supplements that totally disolve before you swallow them. Are they alright for post -ops (7 weeks)? Are they a beneficial fiber? Thanks Maureen — Maureen R. (posted on October 7, 2002)

I SWEAR by Fiber Choice. I take one every morning, and that's all I need.
No problems at all, but sure had problems before I started taking them. I
never want to go through that again! Good luck!

I took fiber choice pre-op and loved it. I'm scared to take it now. But I
do take the Benefiber a couple of times a week in my coffee and am very
happy with the results.

I had my 3 month postop visit with my surgeon today and asked him about the
Benefiber since I have had problems with constipation every since surgery
and a woman from work recommended itthe . He said the Benefiber was
perfectly fine for us "posties" and has several patients who take
it on a daily basis to keep from getting constipated. I am 12 weeks postop
and down 56# and doing GREAT!

I have been taking 2 SF chewable Fiber Choice daily since I was about 4
months post-op. It works great and tastes good, orange flavor, and doesn't
clump up in water like Metamucil! It works for regularity, which ever way
you need it, too much or too little!

I started taking Benefiber about a week ago and LOVE it. It really does
totally dissolve in my drink and doesn't change the texture at all. Can't
even tell I added anything!
