@ramblinman I feel for you. Hoping time eventually gets you there.

Read your comment and decided to open up the bottle of prune juice I bought pre-surgery. Funny thing, I was in supermarket checkout line buying two bottles of prune juice and bananas and ran into someone I knew. They did a double-take on my cart items....stuttered for a second but then kept chatting. I said nothing because what to you say in that situation.

I've been trying to go high fiber food wise (smoothie, oatmeal, bananas), but may have to kick it up a notch.

Have you heard of prune butter? https://www.verywellhealth.com/warm-prune-juice-and-butter-constipation-11716135

May go there next.
