Hi!  I haven't been here to my profile in about 2 yrs.  I had the sleeve done 4 yrs ago.  I haven't followed my eating plan, nor do I remember what it is.  My fam doc recently told me to take Metamucil twice a day.  I'm not sure, but I thought I was told by my surgeon not to take in a lot of fiber and surely not like Metamucil.  Idk.  Anyone know what the deal is with that?  I can't say that I've had that much success since I've started using the Metamucil.  What's the ruling on taking in fiber?  Tks!

I take Fiber Choice, chewable fiber pills made from fruit and i "go"  every morning.  i've never heard that we shouldn't eat fiber  :o) jeani

I actually take Fiber Choice daily, as suggested by my surgeon.

I'm curious about your weight.  Did you gain?  How much? Do you still feel "restriction"?  Feel free to drop me a line if this forum isn't the place.  I apologize in advance.

Hi!  I appreciate your responses!  I originally lost 93 lbs in my first yr, then eventually gained back 31 lbs.  I've been pretty stable with my weight for this last yr, which I am really happy about.  I was still far from my goal at 93 lbs lost, so now I'm even further.  I think my pouch still works.  My head overrides it a lot, but it can override only so much!  If I get in a good emotional and stable place (like psych hospital, lol) I can and have gotten back to the way I'm suppose to be eating and lose weight.  I still have the tools to lose weight, I'm just not using them.  Guess I'm a stubborn learner.

Thank you also for your response.  I think this Metamucil is going out the window!  I'll look at Fiber Choice and I've also seen some fiber gummies recently so I'll look at that again, too.  Thank you so much ladies!
