How are you getting your fiber in early on?



Recommended Posts

I'm only 3 weeks out, but my Fiber intake has been incredibly low. I do add benefiber to my drinks, but how else are you guys getting your fiber in early on? (I'm not asking about Constipation or Miralax or anything like that, just fiber)

It's a struggle for me to barely hit or get close to my Protein and Fluid intake in daily from the constant fullness. So I'm trying to figure out ways to add more fiber, without being more full and struggling to hit protein/fluid even more

I never asked my physician but what about tablets, gummies, capsules? I know a lot of them are inulin based which is pretty shitty as far as fiber is concerned.

Ive never had to get the lions share of my fiber from supplements before it's probably the hardest thing to supplement! (when struggling with fullness)

I understand them not wanting you to go high fiber as that's gonna cause gas bloating and some pain.

But I would imagine we still should be getting af minimum 10-20g of fiber a day. And Protein Shakes dairy and the lions share of what many of us are eating probably has little to no fiber at all.

I mean 60-80g of Protein with almost no fiber, and we're all gonna end up with hemmrhoids

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
