Fiber?
In my years off and on this board, I've heard lots of people talk about counting their protein intake or carbs intake. I've rarely
heard fiber mentioned. (I think I can remember Dina saying something about it years ago, but it's definitely not a common topic.)
Do you track your fiber? Do you try and get in a certain number of grams per day?
Does eating high fiber foods affect you positively or negatively?
Thanks :)
Lap-Band June 14, 2001. Dr. Rumbaut, Monterrey, Mexico.
Lap-Band removed after 7 years and converted to Sleeve Gastrectomy on July 7, 2008 by Dr. Roslin. I've had three happy healthy Lap-Band babies.... and one VSG baby. 5 years out from revision to VSG. Gained 55 pounds in past 5 months, now considering DS. :(
I don't count fiber unless it's to subtract it from total carbs to get net carbs.
I do keep track of how much fiber I am consuming. My system is sensitive to fiber and I will be spending the day in the bathroom instead of living a rich and fulfilling life - so I am careful not to overload with fiber.
