Fiber

Did your dr. Recommend a Fiber supplement. A friend of mine had lb and another had bypass and they are both on fiber supplements.< /p>

Absolutely add fiber of some sort to keep you regular. And regular is now every 2-3 days, not every day! You have really changed what your body is used to and you are not eating fiber like you used to. You are eating tons of Protein that does not come with fiber. I add a clear powder to my Water every day and take a stool softener every day. Drink tons of water.

I go daily. I add flavorless Fiber powder to my morning Greek yogurt and take fiber gummies daily. In addition to your 3 oz of Protein you also need to have high fiber veggies. If you can't eat/have room for veggies you are too tight.

i was told to avoid "fiberous" veggies cuz they can often be hard to digest and can clog the stoma if not chewed thoroughly.

THe elimination is less because we are consuming less but if you feel bound up drink more Water and talk to your surgon about adding a fiber suppliment

I really need lots of fibre to manage IBS and having no rectum and no " push" muscles but Metamucil, Benefibre, Normafibe, all of them give me tons if pain, bloating and gas. But LSA mix or just plain ground linseeds, absolutely fantastic - soft easy to pass stools without urgency or bloating. Sorry for TMI but when you've lost thtat part of your body and naturally produce something that looks like rabbit poo, to produce something larger than what the cat left in the litter box is cause for celebration!!!!

I sprinkle on muesli, str into yogurt, use to make low carb minute muffins or alternatively, eat a big spoonful followed by a glass of Water.

I am at restriction and can eat any veggie. Raw baby carrots are my only challenge.
