Everyone is different and the solution is a different for each person.  For me, I had no issue pre op so long as I had my bowel of apple cinamon cheerios a day.  Post op the cereal doesnt work as I cant eat enough of it.  I know for me metamucil constipates me, prunes or juice just gives me gas, bran constipates me, I tried probiotics, no effect,

What I am finding helps is 4 stool softeners a day (2 in the am and 2 in the pm) tons of water, 2 liters is just the start, lots of exersize, and senekot a couple of times a week.

It is still a work in progress, I will find the right balance.

Keep trying everything until you find the solution for yourself.
