Have you tried Benefibre Mandy? I use it twice a day andhave never had constipation since the op, I think Shel and PG use it too. Its a white tasteless powder which you can get from Boots and Tesco, you add to a drink twice a day and for me it works like clockwork. At the outset with little going in there little to come out but fluids help.

Hope you can get a solution

Maybe add some veg and fruit to ur diet as that could be the reason ur constipated, i know u say u have to be on mashed foods but still u need to incorporate some healthier more nutritional food.

How about fybogel twice a day, not sure about sugar content as you would need to check. I was on this when I followed the milk diet for 3 months.
