A Fresh Start

[woteacher 0]

Hello all. I'm new to this forum, but not new to surgery. My husband had RNY in 2001. I had Lap Band surgery in 2006. I lost 25 pounds, then promptly gained it back. I'm afraid that I'm getting Peripheral Artery Disease, so I've got to shape up.

I came here because before surgery, my surgeon's nutritionist told me I could only Fiber from certain sources (I think only soluble fiber). When I asked "What about insoluble fiber?" she said that I could get that in my diet. I thought 'What? If we can barely get enough Protein in our daily food intake, how are we also supposed to get fiber - since few foods have both?' I'll look for a thread about this. Thanks.

Personally, I have seen a lot of BAD information passed out by NUTs. And that's all I'm gonna say about that. :tt2:
