Ok this was a BIG ISSUE for me early on. (I use to be able to go like clockwork)

I started taking 'Stool Softners' and they work. I take 2 or 3 per day and I still do. Haven't had any issues with constipation since I started.

Speak to your doc before you start taking them though. My PCP was the one that told me to start taking them.

I've just remembered - a WLS friend recommending "Smooth Move Tea".

I haven't tried it but I know a lot of folk on the OH forum use it: http://www.vitasprings.com/smooth-mo...nals-teas.html
