Awesome. Thanks lauraellen80 great idea. Thanks.

Alright, if the tea is that good, I'm trying it. But does it have caffeine in it?

Ugh! I've tried all these things, except the tea, including the heavy hitters from the gastroenterologists, like Amitiza. Prunes work like a charm, but I'm allergic. As for water, I drink 70-100 ounces a day bc I'm still pre-op. I think there must be some magic combo of things that will work. I was hoping there was just some protocol that was uniformly prescribed, but I guess not. Thanks for all your responses though.

Hi everyone. I'm new here and 7 weeks pre-op, but on a standard post-op diet. I can't eat many raw vegetables because my stomach doesnt digest well. Without any grains for roughage, I'm stuck. I take magnesium in powder /drink form several times a week and have started taking fiber gummies (but worry about the sugar). Admittedly, I maybe don't do enough cardio, but do other exercise. What do you guys do to stay regular? I think I've gained about 3 Ibs in impacted gunk, when my weight should be dropping. TIA.
