I have not posted much. Dealing with medical issues giving me bigger fish to fry, (haha), so-to-speak.

Gyn pushed me to go to cardiologist due to elevated cholesterol. Among other things, forced me to increase my fiber intake.

I know I was not taking enough in. Fiber, sufficient fiber, is difficult. Protein was always my focus to stay full but I have found fiber works very well too.

I am increasing it it several ways but found one painless way is Metamucil (oh the shame to clutch my first bottle to the cash register- a public witness to my aging body).

I paid more for the clear and natural that promised to dissolve with no grit and it actually does! 5 grams in a cup of coffee- check, 5 grams in a bowl of Kashi wheat cereal (6-grams in the cereal alone) plus 5 grams of the extra teaspoon of fiber, etc.


When you feel like you will pop like a balloon, it sure cuts down on eating anything extra whatsoever.

We will see the outcome and how long I can stand feeling like the Staypuff boy/girl but I have lost another pound in 3 days, which for me is a record.

I'd hug you but I better not...
