constipation and laxatives

I had gastric bypass 12 weeks ago and in the last week I have had some constipation.

Are we allowed to use laxatives?

Thanks

Get yourself some Restoralax., and drink lots of water.

You can use Restorlax but you have to drink tons of water with it and for me that's a problem. You can try prune juice or puree prune like babies have. Natural is better seeing as you are only 12 weeks out.

I now use Metmucil simply clear and add it too my water or crystal light as it doesn't get gritty at all and absolutely no taste. It does fill me up for longer periods of time. But it works.

I was told lactulose. I actually picked some up today. Ask the pharmacist for it. Or if its really bad ie. you need instant relief to try Senokot??   or a suppository of some sort.

I'm not sure about with RNY, But i used colace and it worked wonders... (Sleeve)

Thanks everyone....the prunes seemed to help.
