How is it possible to get in 20-25 grams a day without taking a supplement and adding in additional carbs?

Ok I'm super excited made some eggs and tuna salad puréed of coarse and it went down well. Lots of protein in AND IT DIDN'T MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A HELL,! Excited

I add ground fax seed to everything. It's natural and very good for you. I can't eat cereal and plan to avoid it anyway because there are very few below 5grams of sugar

Thats awesome Jon thanks so much for the fast reply. Where do I find this chia seeds? I don't kno if I'm allowed seeds yet? But smooth move tea sounds like a winner! Thank you so much

You can buy chia seeds from a natural foods store. I even saw them at Trader Joe a week ago. Otherwise, there are many sellers on Amazon.com that you can buy from. I have found you can get more for less through Amazon.com. Just make sure the seller has good feedback. Not sure about when you can have seeds. I believe I started on the between 4th and 5th month post op. They work really well and are also good source of Protein and Omega 3.

Thanks everyone!

The fiberone has zero sugar and it's probably the only processed food I eat....to me it's worth it. It's also one of the few processed foods that doesn't wake up my carb monster. Probably because there is no sugar.

I think I will start eating this again.

Warning to others: it looks like rabbit food! However, the taste, in my opinion is good and it is very dependable with regards to BM regularity. You can even eat it with Water or just by the handful. It makes a good topper for all those recipes that call for breading and it makes a killer Fiber muffin we tend to make them from scratch, but Fiber One also has mixes you can use out of the box). It is almost miracle food if I may.

The only issue is finding it on a sale. I remember coming out of target once with 20 boxes (each was a dollar something). Lasted me greater than 6 months. Otherwise, they tend to be in the neighborhood of $5 a box. Probably more now that inflation is kicking in for us in the states.

Quest protein bars have 20 grams of protein and 17 grams of fiber and 2 net carbs. Cant wait till I am at that stage. In the mean time I just bought the Wal-Mart equivalent to benefiber and will start adding to protein drinks.

My low carb tortillas have 13 g fiber, 19 carbs tho, 5 G protein. It doesn't say whether its soluble or insoluble fiber. I eat oatmeal sometimes with berries. Or I make oatmeal cookies with applesauce or banana purée & low sugar craisins (10g fiber per 1/4 c). I add these foods into my low carb diet occasionally& try to eat sparingly. But everybody needs to poop.

What brand are these?

I'm not going to try to talk anyone out of eating fiber (I love it and eat a lot of it) but you might not actually need that much. How much fiber you need is calculated per 1000 calories of food you eat each day. The recommendation really isn't that everyone needs to get 25 grams of fiber each day, but that everyone should get at least 14 grams of fiber per 1000 calories that you eat. So if you are eating 1200 calories per day, you would want to aim for approx. 17 grams of fiber. If you are eating 800 calories, aim for 11 grams of fiber.
