1 year post op -Constipated, Frustrated=South Beach Diet

I have been doing the South Beach diet for the last week and a half and I have watched my weight loss pick up-I am still trying to lose another 60-70 lbs-I am still doing the induction phase and want to stay on it but it is no carbs at all except for a little veggies here and there, but I have been really focusing on the protein thing-ut now I'm constipated this happened in the beginning of my weight loss about 2 mos out and I upped the veggies and fiber intake-about a month ago I was eating Low carb granola and lo carb hot cereal with really high grams of fiber and I wasn't haven't problems with constipation, but now I am losing the weight but am constipated-should I go back to eating the low carb granola and cereals for the fiber 2x a day again-I don't want any carb cravings to come back or jeopardize my loss-Who would suck it up and take colon cleanse to keep losing the weight and then worry about the fiber once they reach goal-I was gonna stay on the induction phase until I reached goal-I don't know what to do I know constipation is a sign of poor dietary habits-I was getting good fats and carbs with the oats and stuff??? I'm confused-This is so frustrating-Help!!!
