Since I am retentive of the anal.

For you, I share this Free Sample of Fibersure.

It's no secret that many people do NOT get the daily recommended amount of fiber in our diets. 

From Newsweek:  http://www.nationalfibercouncil.org/pdfs/NewsweekPrint.pdf

For us post weight loss surgery peeps, it's nearly impossible, unless we re-introduce many of the carbohydrates that we may have removed from our diets.  Apparently this is an obvious need, because there are a bunch of products on the market that we can add to our food without adding actual "food."  First in my list, is FiberSure.  I had been iffy about using it more often, because.  Well.  I. have. gas. issues.

What is it?  Inulin.

Clear-Mixing, Non-Thickening Powder

Fibersure, from the makers of Metamucil™, is a clear-mixing fiber supplement that is flavor-free. It dissolves in a glass of water, or it can be mixed into the foods or drinks you enjoy every day. And you'll never know it's there, because it doesn't alter taste or texture.

Fibersure is a 100-percent-natural vegetable fiber called inulin, which is harvested from chicory roots. Inulin is found in more than 30,000 plants, including fruits and vegetables.

This is the same stuff that I thought was giving me the gas. of. death. from my cottage cheese.  I was not happy when I re-read the side of the FiberSure container and noticed this.  Crap.  Or, at least fart, right?  Well, I understand that fiber is meant to make you uh, poop, I do not want to shoot flames from my intestines while getting fiber in, either.

So, what's the point of this blog?  I'm going to give the FiberSure a more "regular" (pun-intended!) try.  I have already been using it randomly, but never daily.  I thought for sure, it would blow my ass out, so I haven't been giving it a fair chance.  I am going to try to add it to at least one protein shake a day, and to family meals at dinnertime. 

If I don't explode, it's a positive review - because I NEED FIBER.  I get next to none considering the lack of variety in my diet.

Here's to no gas and productive pooping!  Wish me luck.

BTW - I have another variety to give a whirl, next, the sugar free berry flavored Metamucil.
