That sounds right. Typically my nut says to aim for 60-80g of Protein a day, but during the pre-op stage I was well over that. I had the same issues as you. I started mixing in Benefiber into my Protein shakes and that helped, but I did have to rely on a laxative once or twice. Benefiber is great to keep things regular but for me it doesn't do much "afer the fact" if you know what I mean.

Start on stool softners. For me that is all I've needed so far. My surgeon said not to worry about not having a bm for a week unless I am uncomfortable. I am 9 days post-op and have had 2 bm.
