How do you get enough fiber?

I'm not banded yet but am curious about getting fiber afterward. I see a lot of people can't/don't eat bread or fibrous veggies. Do you have a problem getting enough fiber? I am someone who needs a lot of fiber to stay regular if you kwim. I eat whole wheat everything. I'm just afraid if I'm eating mostly protein that I won't have room for enough fiber. How do you do it?

My Dr. gave me a probiotic pill, and that has helped me drastically with the "fiber-related issues". i.e. pooping regular.

You can also get Culturelle over the counter and this helps.

I know this wasn't your exact question, but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case it helps....

I LOVE broccoli and would go into deep mourning if I couldn't eat it. I have gotten stuck on it once, but that was my fault. I cook it very well now and chew it well and do fine. Try roasting it.. yummmmmmm!!!
