Expired Post.

Paul, I never really gave much thought to the fiber content of food but I swear by the Western bagels.  Twice a week I have one of those with peanut butter on it for breakfast and it certainly holds me until lunch.

My bread, Mrs Baird's whole grain white,only has 3g of fiber per slice.  I was actually about to post and ask people what their favorite bread is cuz I know there has to be better options out there.

Thanks for making me think *smile*

I am almost 2 years out now and most of my fiber intake comes from fruits and veggies.  I aim for 30g a day.  I reach satiety and yet it does not cause bowl distress.  Anything higher than that and I am in for a couple of days of pain and irregularity. 

If I do choose a "bread-ish" type item I lean towards high fiber like you.  My favorites are Natures Own double fiber, any of the Ezekial products (tortillas, bread, english muffins, buns and cereal) and the western bagels.  I eat these items sparingly as even the textures remain to be trigger foods for me.   They are kept in the freezer and I may have 2 a week.

See my comment about bagels being an addiction for me.  I want to try them (if I can get them locally) BUT worry that it'll become an everyday or two times a day "problem".

Paul, I see many of y'all eating the Western bagels.  Didn't you say you got yours at Walmart?  Either I don't know what I'm looking for or they don't have it here but I have always liked bagels with cream cheese in the morning (this was pre-op and I "might" have to watch this addiction).  Ok so where do I find these at?  It would be a good option to have a work for breakfast.

I don't get enough fiber in my day, I know that......and I do have "issues" sometimes because of it. 

So spill the beans on the bagels, lol.

Dana, they're in my Walmart in the cold section where they keep string cheese, cans of whip cream, cream cheese etc.  They are Western Brand bagels and it says "The Alternative Bagel" or something like that on the front.  I love the "country white" with peanut butter.  Wheat is OK but not my favorite, just personal preference.

Paul, I just checked out westernbagel.com and they don't show the Walmarts in Louisiana selling them.  BUT they do show Brookshire Brothers selling them and we have one in Sulphur, I'll check them out and maybe if they don't have them I can ask that they buy them.

Brookshire Brothers is the ONLY place locally I've been able to buy the TVP.
