Constipation

What do you take for constipation. I had to go back to thick liquids, but hopefully reintroduce food on Monday. Just got 2nd Covid vaccine today and that depends on any symptoms from vaccine. I’m drinking at least 67oz of water, some days a bit more and 2-30 grams of protein shakes. So, getting all 60 grams of protein in each day. I have so much meds I have to take and I believe ALL that powder is contributing to my constipation. Thanks!
 
Yeah I remember taking Miralax but you know what now and I don’t know if this is everyone but a year and a half from having bypass I get gas all he time after I eat or drink also have to go # 2 a lot now . The gas can be kinda embarrassing in public. Good thing just about everyones wearing masks haha . Does anyone else have this problem too . It seems to be an all day thing.

I take one benefiber packet in my morning coffee daily. You can take 3 a day if need be. If I am constipated and need extra help, I take Colace for a few days and that is enough to get things moving. Some people use "Smooth Move" Tea but I haven't tried it.
