Dont take lactulose as its full of sugar and may make you dump. I used movicol from the Dr I am still having probs in that area 6 months down the line. I go most days now but its still hard and I no have bleeding piles and have a tare inside (went dr yesterday). Try to get it sorted sooner than later

I personally use Benefibre everyday & Fybogel when I am constipated. Being constipated is usually caused by low fluid intake and/or a low fiber diet so try and address those issues as well as taking something to get you moving right away.

Here are a few threads about constipation if you are concerned:

If you are really bad you can get some enemas from the doctor. I had them at the start of the pregnancy, and my lord do they work!

Avoid things like senokot etc so soon post op, not good for your rewired insides.
