Metamucil and weight loss (gain??)

[mKiki2]

I've been instructed by my doctor to take metamucil to help me with constapation problems BUT since I've been taking it I've only noticed weight gain and no change in bowel movements. I have seen some people on here say that they've lost weight due to metamucil. IS this true? Is the weight I am gaining due to water weight? How did anyone lose weight taking metamucil?? I would liek to know since I stuggle with my weight and I would be relieved to knwo if eventually taking metamucil would help me lose weight, but for now I am concerned. I gained 3lbs in 3 days!!!

I experienced weight gain too with metamucil.   I was starting to wonder if it could be because of the met. and I think it just might be.   I wanted to loose an extra 5 five lbs. and instead I gained them.    I'm so behind the 8 ball now!!!

Okay. I have been taking metamucil for almost a week now. I am on a weight loss plan that my doctor is helping put me on. Let me tell you what. This stuff makes you go to the bathroom. LOL~!  The metamucil is included w/ the plan. There are other guidelines on this diet as well. So, this stuff does clean you out pretty good lol! If you want to know more info on the plan , feel free to email me at ***@**** and send me a message saying "ABOUT WEIGHT PLAN" in the subject so I don't think it's spam. I"ll be more than happy to send u a copy of this,but remember.. you have to follow this to the tee!! have a great day yall!!

I have been taking Metamucil a few weeks now, I was taking citracel.  I think they both have the same effect, and I love the Extra Fiber in my Diet!  I had no idea that not having regular bowls was such an important thing! I mean I knew it was important, but when I was feeling and looking so sick, I wouldn't have thought to tie it to my bowls.Anyways, I haven't even considered loosing weight from it, but my sister did say my butt didn't look as big, LOL!  But I think I will start keeping track and get back to you:-), but no matter what, it's definitely a good thing!

I started taking Metamucil and I don't want to be gross but we are talking about Metamucil... I have never taken such a healthy movement in all my life.  I can't imagine that I would gain weight because of all the waste I am getting rid of.  I'm going to keep watching the scale and get back to everyone on this.

I just started taking metamucil 3 days ago, and haven't really changed anything else in my diet. Lost about 6 or 7 lbs so far. Just drink lots of water in between drinking metamucil. The thing is I've tried dieting in the past and always feel shakey when I don't overdose with sugar. But this stuff seems to keep it in check, weird.
