My hubby just had colon surgery and Doc says he has to eat a low fiber diet for 2 weeks. I know that raw fruits and vegies are a no-no. Only canned and cooked. What kind of meats, cereals, breads, etc can he eat? Can he have eggbeaters? He has high cholesterol, and doesn’t like alot of sugar. He needs variety. I’m also concerned that he gets proper nutrition until he can go back to his regular high fiber diet. Any suggestions, ideas, or sites where I can get recipes would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I boiled black beans yesterday and had to put in a liquid so they would blend in the Cusinart. I used an enchillada sauce and wasn’t thinking as I could have used chicken stock. They tasted wonderful, but… the consistency of the refried pinto bean was not there. It was more of a gritty texture and "not" smooth like refried beans from the can.

The Cusinart does not make them like a smooth paste. I have a hand mixer to puree foods and wonder if that would work.

I am trying a high fiber diet, unfortunately it will be high in carbs with the beans. I’m not sure if this will work, but being tired of Atkins I will try something new. I read that the high fiber foods do not absort into the blood stream like bad carbs would do – which I do not eat.

I am diabeted and need to lose more weight. My blood sugar level is always normal, it is just hard to lose weight.

Thank you.

My husband has been put on a high fiber/low fat diet for health reasons. We just started and I am sure in six months I will have this down. But for now, could you suggest things to eat or any cookbooks that come to mind. Thanks in advance.
Tia, Thank you so much. I was trying to give you a thumbs up and accidentally hit the wrong one. Sorry! I appreciate you taking the time to type all of this in.

is it healthy. does it work. what do you eat?

Just seems like high fiber is always the thing to do, but I’m sure there are exceptions.

Thanks in advance!
