More potty talk... sorry

Thanks everyone! My issue resolved itself but I don't want to get in the same place again so I am making sure I have enough fiber.

I found a product that I add to my water to flavor it... similar to Crystal Light. It has 5g of fiber and its pretty tasty. It's called South Beach Living On the Go - Tide Me Over. I bought the Strawberry Banana. In addition to this I plan to have the Farina and applesauce daily too.

Thanks again for all of your suggestions... ~Marci

If you are doing benefiber please be sure to get in enough fluids... I didn't and OUCHIEMAGOOGIE it hurt when it finally happened... Mlk of magnesia is now my friend...

How many carbs does the south beach tide me over have? I mentioned using K2O protein water preop and my NUT told me not to use it because of the carbs. I didn't think about looking at south beach.

Hi Cheryl...

I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. The Tide-Me-Over drink has 30 calories for a 16.9 ounce serving.

Take care... ~Marci

I have been "clogged up" so to speak since the week before my OR -- #$%@ optifast.  Things are slowly starting to release.   Keys, I think, are walking +++, getting in as much fluid as you can, and fibre where my possible.  I start every day with 1/4 of oat bran which gives me a copule of grams fiber, and then have 1 benefibre tablet 3 x day -- 1.3 g fibre each i think -- but chewable, and go down easy.  I could increase the benefibre, but i'm frightened of the other extreme.

The crystal light-like things with fiber sound cool though...
