Fiber Question

[westendorf 0]

I've always eaten lots of Fiber, will I be able to eat fiber (ie bran muffins, fiber rich cereals, flax seed muffins) after surgery? I need the fiber because colon cancer runs in my family.

Thanks, mary

It seems easier to lose weight without the muffins and the cereals as our calorie intake is quite low while losing.But there is stuff like psyllium husk and chia seeds that you could start adding a few months out.

Fibre just dont seem high on the priority list for most,I dont often see that peoples food really includes a lot of it.

Edamame Beans,protein pancakes with flaxseeds or chia seeds and psyllium husk,or maybe fibre one original (11grams with 60 cals) has been my go to.

The flaxseed muffin recipe I have is just too high in cals for me but yours might work for you.

It will be interesting to see what others say about this fibre issue.

I vote for the chia seeds, being a lifelong Constipation sufferer they really got me moving. The same benefits of "other" fiber too.

You can usually find fiber gummies at Walmart, that or Miralax has no taste or calories and will mix with a shake.< /p>
