Ask your doctor. Don't wait until your appointment. Call the office. They should be happy to respond. Forums like this are great for general advice, but no one here is treating you, knows you, knows what surgery you're having, etc. Asking for medical advice here is dangerous.

Benefiber was part of my docs plan from day one. By a month out I was doing both soluble (benefiber) and insoluble (psyllium husk or Metamucil).

But contact YOUR doctor and see what their plan entails. You trusted your surgeon to cut you open, best to trust your surgeons advice.
