I went about 7 days then I did a dulcolax suppository. Within 15 minutes I had two good ones. After that I found Gummy Fiber and I chew two every night. Now I go about every 3 or 4 days:)

5 days is a while....there are so many options. I won't list them all here, but your local drug store probably has a whole isle dedicated to your problem. Some work harsh and fast...stranding you on the toilet for most of the day...others are more gentle, but may be less effective. Consult with the pharmacist there if you have any questions about which may work the best. If you've taken something that has worked for you in the past, go that route. And yes, drink more Water. You don't want to make a habit of taking chemical/stimulant laxatives all the time.....you body can get dependent on those. If it becomes a continuous problem you may want to consider a soluble/bulk fiber...like Benefiber in the future. But you must drink lots of water, especially if you're taking a daily Fiber supplement, otherwise it may constipate you more.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
