Constipation! Anyone else?

I never had a problem with constipation before my RNY, but now I have to take stool softeners to keep from getting bound up. I try to drink enough water and not to eat too much meat like ground beef....which is when it first started. Also I have lots of gas. Anyone else? Help.
