I haven't measured my Fiber intake, but I do eat a lot of re-fried Beans and I add psyllium (from Walmart) to my food concoctions. I also eat cauliflower (instead of mashed potatoes) that's been run through the food processor. A 1 lb bag only has about 100 calories, add a little brown gravy and I think it tastes better than mashed potatoes

Kellogs All Bran Cereal is a good source of fiber. I eat with Pure Silk almond milk unsweetened. 1gram of carb in that milk and if you minus the fiber from the carbs in the Cereal its only 13 carbs. Worth it to me to get fiber.

My nutritionist just told me Asian Pears have something like 10 g of fiber. That is a ton for a piece of fruit. i know it's carbs but it's natural.

I pulled out the info the nutritionist gave me and it says according to USDA an Asian pear is 10 g. Not sure about the size variance. Prunes and lentils are other good ideas.

Thank you. Okay I didn't look there lol. I was thinking how awesome it was and input it in myfitnesspal. Its great that it has any amount.

There is not a better source of fiber in the known universe than plain fiber one cereal. Even the 1/2 cup serving will meet your daily fiber needs. Yes it has a few carbs, but it has no sugar so it won't trigger cravings. Even the glycemic index diet gurus say this is the one processed carb worth eating for the fiber content.

Are you eating fiber one cereal now instead of chia seeds? I am thinking about getting back into fiber one cereal because it was a favorite pre sleeve.

No I still use the chia seeds but I've cut back on my Protein shakes....thereby cutting back on the chia. I honestly think the fiber one works better anyway.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
