Its funny some of us have a bit TOO much fear of regain and as a result fear of food ... and some of us are still in denial and just eat too much , often outeating our surgeries best intentions over time.
I'm in the latter camp and I frankly envy the people who 've stayed in the former .
Congratulations on Ur weight loss and maintenance ... I WOULD try probiotics for the gas and also gas x in the afternoon after small amounts of the offending fibers are ingested . After a while the body makes something like Beano on its own and you don't blow up and feel uncomfortable after eating broccoli and/or beans . Its a great blessing !
As far as constipation / gas / feeling full and just generally feeling satisfied ( and HEALTHY ) go .. I vote for fresh veggies every time, lightly cooked . You get to eat a large volume of delicious , beautiful food without the large amount of calories ... and you also get teh enzymes and vitamins that are NOT in vitamin pills that our bodies need .
Right now I have baby broccoli sprouts and baby radishes and spinach in my garden. Also brussels sprouts , leeks , green garlic and sprouting kale . I try to eat one of these ( from picking to table in under thirty minutes ) every day . Keeps me regular and the whole family rudely healthy ... and not hungry .
