How To Get More Fiber

Helloooooo Everybody!  :)  The talk at my house with my DH lately has been all about fiber.  He's had some...ahem, issues, and the doctor told him he needs more fiber.  Based on some of what she told him, it is clear that I need more fiber, too.  I am two months post-op and have been so focused on getting in my protein that I eat very little carbs of any kind.  I do try to put some fiber into my morning shake, but that's about it.  I used to get a ton of fiber in before surgery, but the protein now doesn't leave me much room for any now.

So, my question....how do you all get your fiber in??  I would especially love hearing how you did this close to surgery.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!  :)

Judy... I hear ya.. i am a carb phobic. lol. I get a lot of my fiber from fruit and veggies. Very little from the grain department.  (grains like breads, pasta, etc are a soft spot for me, at least were pre-op and i do not want to get back into that love affair). You may consider a fiber supplement like metamucil or the like until you get to where you can eat more and add toher foods back in to your diet.

Guayas, I sing the praises of benefiber, using the generic stuff myself.  Mixes into crystal light, protein drinks without any additional taste or texture.  I use this everyday.  Start off with a small amount and increase as needed.  The package label even says that you can cook with it.  I haven't tried cooking with it, tastes just fine in my water and crystal light.
