knowgr8rlove Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 So can anybody make some suggestions on maintaining some "regularity" during the 21 days of liquids? Before my surgery, I was taking metimucil but not sure if that is wise to do during the healing stage.
JazzyJude Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Yes, you can still take the Metamucil capsules if you wish, which also helped with the hunger pangs, as well, the chewable Fiber Choice for Weight Management does too. If in doubt, check with your dr for advice. I did either the Benefiber natural powder (no flavored) and mix in my soups and drinks or took the chewable Benefiber (Orange Creme flavored). Starting day 22, solid stage, I started eating instant oatmeal and that helped me alot with the rotor rooter plumbing... Good luck...Jazzy!!

knowgr8rlove Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Posted July 8, 2009 Thank you for the tips. I picked up some lemon lime add to your bottled water flavored metamucil yesterday. Takes me 1/2 the day to drink it.
