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?

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.

Ohh is it a preset goal? MFP used to piss me off so I quit bothering LOL Whts the amount it sets for you?

He had better consult with his surgeon. I have had many of those things and I am a bypasser with a stricture, food can't pass through. This is usually a gastric bypass problem but not all VSG are exempt. And if one variety doesn't work, tastes so bad you can't stand it, there are many others to chose from. The kind that works for me isn't one you commonly hear of. After 10 months of protein shakes one does become a connoisseur, I finally found one that doesn't choke me up, has flavors I can stand and doesn't totally break the bank. And lastly your son may have developed a temporary allergy to some of the milk proteins, there are soy-based, or plant- based, personally I don't like them as well but they are a total God-Send for many. There are always answers to every question, just not always easy to find.

Wow I have never heard of that so I had to look it up. That seems like such a cool and fun way to work out! I'm gonna try it too! Good luck 🙌

My fave -

I'm doing well. My left side is very very sore. Doc said it's normal, that's where the stomach came out. I'm struggling to get my fluids in but I'm 3 days PO and just trying my best!!
