How much fiber is too much? I’m switching to the Atkins 30g + 7g of fiber shakes to help save on the amount of Benefiber I use. One serving of Benefiber only gives 3g and the suggested amount per day is 3 servings (9g). I don’t wanna get stopped up. Thoughts?

MFP - pre sets it. My Fiber is at 25grams.

Bariatistic is another option for a food log. Are you doing a log by hand or Not logging?

For the past year I’ve used the Atkins app to log food. Since I just started purée (13 days PO) I’m starting to log again. Wasn’t bothering the past couple weeks. 25g sounds good. I did a little reading after my initial post and that amount matches up with the info I found 👍🏼👍🏼

RDA is 15-25 grams a day. People early out from WLS probably don't get nearly that much because we have to focus so much on our Protein requirements (actually, most Americans in general probably don't get that much every day). So anyway, if you're in or under that range, theoretically you won't be overdoing it.

That's so funny that you mention this because on Friday I went out and bought some Atkins Plus Protein Shakes because they have 30 g of Protein (my GNC ones has 25 g) and 7 g of fiber (my GNC ones have 3 g of fiber) and wanted to see if the extra fiber was beneficial. I don't know the results yet as I've only tried one shake so far.

I had a Think Thin Protein Bar ( at least 12 grams of fiber) I was sick as a DOG.. the only thing I could think of was it had to have been the fiber.. I try to keep the fibers grams no more than 5 a meal till I know I can handle it because eventually I will need the fiber when I maintain ( fiber makes you feel fuller) .

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
