I had LGBP surgery 5 mo's ago and have chronic constipation on a daily basis.

I drink 64 oz water daily, exercise 60 min/d, eat plenty of protein, but am constipated daily. I take colace twice daily, tried Miralax, and am now trying cereal for fiber. When I do have a BM, it's painful and sometimes streaked with blood. As a result I get torn anal tissue and my bottom hurts for days. Any advice? My surgeon keeps saying it will get better.
