constipation!

I am six weeks post-op and am really beginning to have problems with constipation. I'm not sure about how to safely add Fiber to my diet. I've started taking stool softeners to help the process but . . . any ideas?

      I’m a miralax every other day person until I can add fiber back in my diet. My plan actually says “low fiber stage” until the beginning of week 8. I’m on week 3!

      Hey Johnny, is the canned a significant factor or just convenient? Inquiring minds and all... You know, I never miss talking about having a satisfyin' poop! TIA!

    The protein shakes are a culprit for me. Ever since I started drinking them, I know what the expression "shitting bricks" means. I sometimes take Dulcolax stool softener.
