Colace, but better yet, get the "Members Mark" (sams club) or "Kirkland" (costco) or other plain-wrap stool softener that is docusate. MUCH cheaper per pill that way.
I take one capsule in the AM and one at bedtime, per my PCP whose wife is a WLS'er. Do NOT puncture them. DSS tastes HORRIBLE...I have tried it.

Benefiber has new powder too....you can mix into any liquid. It's tasteless and you never know it's there...kinda like Miralax....

One note about fiber laxatives. Constipation can get to a point where it can become impacted, and fiber laxatives can make the problem worse. That is why many doctors suggest a stool softener as well as increasing fiber in the diet to handle chronic constipation.

I used Miralax also, it worked wonders. but you should try to also get plenty of fiber in your diet so that you do not have to depend on additional aids.
