Can being dependant on laxatives cause a plateau?

I am finding that since we have to take iron and eat lots of protein that it is causing constipation. I don't like having to take a laxative all the time but i also found that when I was eating carbs I was having a plateau as well. I am 6 weeks post-op and the weight so far is doing well but I want it to continue and not be a struggle from here on in. Also does anyone know if Correctol is too stimulating for an open rny pouch as a laxative?
