Post sleeve Constipation!

Any suggestions on post sleeve constipation???? By the way I usually try for a natural way like prune or apple juice, neither work post surgery for me. Stool 100mg of colace twice daily doesn't do much either. My only help is exlax which I'm not too thrilled with using, I don't want my body to rely on such a heavy med.

Thanks everyone for the advice! I found a great natural laxative alternative and that's Castro oil. I take 1 tbs every other day mixed with juice and it works so well! No painful tummy cramps or anything. I started mixing it with apple juice (couldn't taste it) but it blends better with warm green tea. Hope this helps :)

Enema...gross i know but that is the easiest way
