Judy, she can buy some powdered fiber at the grocery store and mix it into just about anything--hot drink, cold drink, applesauce, etc. That's what I do. It has no taste and dissolves completely.

I used the powdered fiber but, found Colace (generic from Walgreens, simply right stool softener,) works better. You can take 1-3 a day and I started with 3 and now take 2 every day. My daughter did have WLS and has to take iron. She uses both to keep things moving.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.

I have to take iron and of course, all the pain pills constipate me too ... but the iron really did it. Despite taking fiber, I still was constipated. Stool softeners help a lot. And lots of water. Water keeps everything flowing. I just buy the store brand ... take one at night.
