I also had bypass and struggled with horrible constipation early out. Luckily it is better now at 14 weeks out.

I was told I could take the following: Metamucil, colace, milk of magnesia and miralax. You should call you surgeon though to discuss your own personal needs and what medicines are ok for you to take. Good luck! Hope it improves soon - it's the worst part for me so far!
