Yes, and I love it! You really feel like you get a more...what's the word....complete poop. I usually have some trouble with straining to go, but haven't since I've used it!

I wish my surgeon had put me on a softener.... My movements are FAR from normal, and have ended up at 7 weeks out possibly needing another surgery due to them being so hard and excruciating has caused a fissure... Water AND Fiber AND SOFTENERS PEOPLE!

Yup, right there with you, buddy. I had an old fissure that I developed a few years ago after being on antibiotics (for a sinus infection) followed by steroids (for a horrible case of poison ivy). One of my reasons for choosing the sleeve over the bypass was that I was told that sleeve patients had fewer problems with Constipation, and I most emphatically DID NOT want to go back to fissure hell . But here I am... I'm hoping that once I can add in more fresh veggies, it will go into "remission" again.
