Laura.  Just wanted you to know that bananas are binders and will not help keep you loose.  The doctor used to recommend I gie them to my kids when their bowels were loose.  Hope things are working out for you!

Oh, thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that. I guess before surgery when I had bananas and oatmeal for breakfast and was regular all the time, it was the other roughage I was eating doing the trick.

Good to know. Thank you.

I've had this problem too since I began taking iron supplements.  I used to get horrible constipation as a kiddo, too.  Miralax works and it is not habit forming.  Benefiber is another thing you can add to any saucy foods or drink and it mixes right up.
