Hi, I am new and wanting to learn. I am used to eating a lot of fiber. whole wheat bread and pasta, salad, raisons. can you eat these things after getting a lap-band?  can you get enough fiber not to get constipated?

I had RNY, so I'm not sure what the rules are for the Band, but thought I'd share with you how I get my fiber up. I shoot for 25-30g per day but often fall short.  Fruits and Veggies are my main source of fiber and I also try to have some type of  whole grain startch at least once a day.  (Tortilla pizza is a yummy source of fiber!)  Some people also use fiber supplements to help them boost their daily intake.   I made a post on my blog about high fiber foods.  Here's the link: http://pamtremble.blogspot.com/2008/03/increasing-my-fiber.h tml
