fruit and veggies for consipation

I am 4 weeks out and am on all foods , but keep getting constipated , what foods would help, trying to stay off of meds for it

 i HAVE TRIED CANTALOUPE  and blueberries and they help a little   any ideas would be helpful

ps nothing that I have eatten has bothered me and I can eat 4 oz of anything

I only eat green vegetables and they seem to help.  There was a couple of times early on that I ate some oatmeal to get some fiber and that got things moving for me.

Make sure you are getting a lot of water in because that can cause you to get constipation also.

Its really  hard to get enough fiber due to the small amount of volume we can eat, even if we do eat veggies and fruit,  If you are allowed try some metamucil or stool softener (I use Senna S)

Things really do get better!

Miralax!!!! Seriously. Not addictive. It just draws water into your colon. You won't eat enough fruit/veg right now to make a difference.

I don't do fruit yet because I'm in weight loss mode but my doctor's office told me Miralax is gentle enough to use every day and your body doesn't get "addicted" to it like other laxatives. I do a half dose every day or every other day and it does the trick.

pears.  Stew some pears and have a couple slices.

peal, core and slice a few pears. put the pearts in a pot with 8 ounces water. put heat on high, boil for 5-7 minutes (pears will be tender). 

Yogurt and probiotic and stool softener

make sure check with your doctor I was having the problem they discover a hernia

make sure you ask your doctor before starting anything new
