How much fiber?
From the web:
There is no RDA for fiber, but the American Dietic Association recommends 20-35 grams from a variety of fiber-rich foods per day. Most people in the US average only 5-10 grams per day; too much fiber (50+ grams per day) may be unhealthy.
I don't get nearly enough! Maybe 15-20 on a good day. I take benefiber 2x a day. Sometimes I'll have an Atkins Fiber bar.

I don't know about your program but Kaiser recommends 11gr Fiber post op daily. I cut out the little recommendations and added them to The Daily Plate in LIVESTRONG, so when I was documenting my foods, I could see if I met my goals.
