That is a question for your surgical team. Hope you get that question answered. Best of luck to you on this awesome life changing adventure!!

My nutritionist said not in clear or full liquids stages, and only in puréed stage with surgeon’s ok.

Because it took me a week to poop after surgery even with having colace, my doctor allowed me to start taking a spoonful of benefiber with Gatorade Zero 1 week after surgery. It did the trick & everything began moving again. Each program is different of course.

It’s interesting, I reread my info and it said I can take miralax for constipation, not sure how different that is from benne fiber, but since I don’t currently have that problem, I’m listening to my team.
