Milk of Magnesia. Personally even the "stimulant free" stuff still gives me issues and I haven't had any problems with the M.O.M.

Ive had to use MOM twice in 5 weeks, it works fine.

MOM for sure.. take it at night and you should go by morning.
Then take Benefibre to regulate yourself. (or something with fibre)

I'm three weeks out and have been using Milk of Magnesia. Works fine for me.

Good luck!

I'm a big fan of Dulcolax stool softener (not laxative). I use the generic version. One tiny capsule every night and no more constipation! :)
