Tammie, First of all, good luck with your surgery, I am so happy for you. My husband takes stool softeners. Speak with your Pharmacist on how many you can take during the day. I have problems here and there, but I also have IBS, OH JOY! Some people drink prune juice, a few years ago my Husband drank Pictsweet prune juice. Have you asked your Doc? He/She may have some good ideas for you too.
Keep us posted on progress after Surgery. Cheryl D.
