Regimen for easy "going"? (possibly TMI)
I'm hoping you guys can help me out!
I have been taking Colace to help make things a little easier when going, but I don't think it's doing much. Milk of Magnesia works really well, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to take that regularly. Is there anything that works well and is safe to use regularly?

I had terrible constipation (it was a problem for me even before surgery so I was expecting this). Here's my regimen:
2 Colace (or generic thereof) in the morning
10 g or more of fiber supplement during the day
500 mg of magnesium (pills) every night
And every morning I get a "result".
