Constipation

Hello everyone, my surgery was April 30, 2013. I had the Gastric bypass in which my intestines were re-arranged. I'm having a major problem using the bathroom (no. 2) sorry. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to take on a regular basis to have bowel movements. I find myself pushing a lot but nothing happens unless I take a laxative to help me out.

On a better note I have moved from a size 16 to a 12. I'll assume it could be more if I can regularly empty my body!

Thanks
