gogirlred Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Sorry to bring up this topic but I will anyway. I had my lap band in September with my first fill the end of October. I didn't really feel restriction until just recently (last couple of weeks which is great)....I am happy. EXCEPT for the hemorrhoids....oh Lord does anyone have any advice? Anyone else have problems with this? It's practically killing almost to the point of depression. Anyone have a high fiber dietary plan they have tried....I'm desperate.

I think it's from all the protien in our diets. I take a stool softener dailey from Walmart,, the Equate brand. It helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shmee Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Fiber is important, if you can't get it naturally, there are chewable fiber or drinkable fiber. Water is important too, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olygrl Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I eat Fiber Gummies every day - 3 of them. They are chewy and tasty and keep me from getting constipated (they even have them at Costco for a great price). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnyagain Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 You are not brining up a subject that has been over and over and over again. I am always ready to share my personal secret.... We all must poop...and yes most of us with the band have some sort of poop issues. I was banded a few years ago, and I have had my fair share of poop problems lets just call thos PP. I put benefiber in my morning coffee every morning. I have tried the off brand, and I feel that they don't work as well as the good ol "BENEFIBER" ... So clear up the swollen belly, cramps, and seeing stars when you try to poo and get some benefiber, and YOU WILL POOP!!! Try Benefiber and Poop your way to Happiness!!
