Well if your diet is like mine right now I'm not getting Fiber from vegetables and fruit because I'm only eating Protein. I slowly increased my fiber supplements to 25g and doing better now but I had to use everything under the sun to help me for weeks.

Im.8 months post op.... I have to do something to help every so often... FYI dolculax is HARD on the stomach. It literally makes me nauseous to have to take it since this surgery.

Ugh the worst! We would always use benefiber before surgery, but my nutritionist told me that those actually can bulk things even in the stomach and isn't a good choice after surgery. They say try ducolax or colace. But omg do NOT get liquid. There is literally nothing worst tasting in this world

I have been using an herbal tea called Smooth Move...i know, the name is hilarious! Its in the tea section and occasionally you can find it in Kerig cups. After using ALL of the above this gets and keep me regular. You drink at night and it actually tastes great so its easy to fit into your daily regimen
