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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
