Fiber

Just wondering if anyone knows if by -pass patients can take fiber such as benefiber? if so what benefits are there?

I was told by my doc to take benefiber EVERY day plus a stool softner (colace)
I had a problem several months ago & found out I was full of it. lol. But my surgeon hadn't told me to take these two things so I wasn't. I moved & had to change docs.

Yes absolutely.  I take FiberSure (it has more fiber per serving than Benefiber) every morning.  Plus I take 2 non-laxative stool softeners per day and 1 Fish Oil capsule per day.  Plus I try to eat 25-30g of fiber per day.  If I get all this in every day I have a glimmer of hope to stay regular.
