I am 5w tomorrow and am not getting any fiber in. I know I can do cooked veggies, but after I get protein and water in I am SO FULL. Anyone else getting much fiber? Should I get a fiber chewable?

    I get a min of 25 grams a day using quest bars, veggies, fruit, and fiber supplements.

    I wouldn't use a psyllium fibre at this stage but I am using an inulin fibre. The brand I have is Fiberrific. It dissolves completely liquid or semi-liquid foods, and has no taste. It's helped me a lot.

    I use fiber gummies regularly, 20oz coffee and so much celery but I still go every third day, so annoying

    I used a chewable fiber tablet and frankly it didn't help much. I drink coffee daily and coffee doesn't affect me that way at all. I found eating 2-3 Triscut crackers (Hint of Salt to avoid too much sodium) worked best for me. Since you are still not that far out from surgery you might want to try eating one a day for awhile or something similar.
