Liquid Stage: Fiber?

[jgandg 0]

I'm reading the nutrition panels for various Protein Shakes and seeing that there is not much Fiber. Did anyone add metamucil or something else?

You could use prune juice for the extra Fiber. Also, the high Protein, low carb version of the canned shakes from SlimFast have a good amount of fiber in them. I get mine at Walmart.< /p>

You can add Benefiber to anything you drink. It really helps!!

My post-op paperwork calls for one tsp of Metamucil in one glass orange juice if needed...the key word is if needed. I add Benefiber to all I cook or puree and don't even taste it. It seems to be doing the job by itself. I am convinced starting out with a clean colon has prevented the gas people speak about, because I have had none. Regardless of what people have to say about colon cleanse post-op I would do it again in a heartbeat. I credit it with absolutely no gas pains of any type. Hope this helps. I'm sure all dr's. recommend something else though.
