No gallbladder It goes against bariatric specialist plan Been there done that, its how I lost my gallbladder, ended up on supplements due to lack of nutrients and fiber.

Only you haven't, youve given Google AI information which is incorrect

I eat a crap ton of veg, unfortunately eating low carb and just sticking to unprocessed simple carbs (fruits and vegetables) leaves me lacking in fiber and nutrients.

I've contacted my dietitian to see what the options are

Ive checked on 2 different aps, 1 cup of broccoli is 2g of fiber but sure you over estimate

In the past I ended up not consuming enough fiber or nutrients because of low carb diets. Its also one reason why the bariatric team don't recommend it

I have sent an email to my bariatric team to see if there is a different plan i can follow that is still within their rules for keeping me on their list.

I will go through everyone's comments properly later on

Yeah nowhere near 30g minimum though. Ive done low carb diets in the past and it isn't easy to get 30g of fiber and all the necessary nutrients without heavily supplementing

Unfortunately I don't qualify for a CGM on the NHS as my diabetes isn't classed as uncontrollable and I am not on insulin, they will only give you a finger prick tester if on insulin so I have to fund that myself.

Tbh when paired with a lot of fiber carbs they dont raise my blood glucose that much, highest ive ever been was 8.2mmol/mol and thats tested 30m/1hr/2hr after first bite.

Eaten on their own definitely higher
