HELP!! I have

I was hoping and praying I wouldn't have to ask this embarrassing question. I read through all the questions posted about constipation. I feel like I've tried every rememdy suggested and I'M STILL CONSTIPATED!! It's not a blockage - if I take THREE laxative tablets I can go (after dealing with hours of stomach cramps and misery). I am 4 1/2 months post op and have lost 57 pounds. I do okay with liquids but I'm sure I'm not getting quite enough exercise. Constipation has never been a problem for me in the past. Two days ago I started taking "Super Colon Cleanse" that I bought at GNC. It's the same as a product called LBS (Lower Bowel Stimulant) which I saw recommended in several other posts. 2 days and 20 capsules later - still nothing except gas and bloating. I haven't tried prunes yet because they are so chocked full of sugar and calories. ARGHHH!! I know that I won't necessarily go every day because of decreased food intake. However, it can't be healthy for me to only go once a week or even every 10 days. Right now I wouldn't even mind something if it gave me diarhea every day. I'm getting blue :( about this. Can anybody help me? Thanks!!
