Poop Issues Take 2 (TMI)
I hear you and you are not alone. I use lactulose if I dont go more than 2 days and use glycerin almost daily. Consitpation has been my biggest issue, When I went for my f/u and mentioned my problem they the RD and NP said you dont have to go every day! My response was yes I do, it's there but have +++ trouble passing it. I have resorted to the manual method from time to time. I know you are still very fressh. Make sure you get your water in. Try lactulose upto 30 cc. Lax A day works too. You can add it to your water/food it is flavorless and dissolves well.

If you go the manual method get some KY jelly.

Thanks for all the tips and advice everyone! I did manage to have some progress today...not perfection but definitely progress. I am just trying to be patient and let my body figure it out. I do have a follow-up at TWH on Friday so I can ask for some support there too if the problem is persisting.
