Getting fiber?
My go to thing is Fiber One cereal. Early out I skipped the milk, but eventually started using milk with it. Now I switched to Almond Milk- a meal for 100 calories and a good dose of fiber. I also just found a product called half calorie crackers- they have a decent amount of fiber as well for 70 cals (4 grams protein). Not perfect- but a start.

This early out, I would say a metamucil, sugar/taste free that mixes into any of your drinks, foods, etc. A little later on, I would suggest Quest bars, they're my go to at this point, and certainly not only for the healthy fiber 
Your nut may have the best/appropriate suggestion--worth the call. Good luck!

A dose of miralax. 17 grams of fiber. I also use Breakstone's Live Active cottage cheese (3) and add in a dose of Fibersure (5) so that gives me a boost (plus the cultures from the cottage cheese). Try to watch the fiber though. It takes that to keep me regular, but I also have to take ducolax twice per day to keep things soft.
Note: I'm an extreme case and all of this is approved by my surgeon, PCP and my fissure surgeon from a few years ago.
Avoid laxatives like Milk of Magnesia unless you have to.
I avoided cereals (still do, too many carbs - for me, but I'm pretty carb sensitive) and also they don't sit well in my tummy.
