First, be patient with yourself. You’re recovering from surgery, and your body will keep changing/healing for a while.
I take one full dose of psyllium (per the package directions) before breakfast and dinner. It’s easy to experiment with the quantity to see what works best for you. I actually mix a half dose of Metamucil and a half dose of Konsyl, but the amount of psyllium is the same.
I take one Lomotil at bedtime to help me sleep through the night. I rarely take a bowel slower otherwise, unless I’ll be in a toilet-limited environment, like on a boat for a few hours.
Good luck!

Thank you Scott. I appreciate your help and the insight from your posts. I hadn't heard of Konsyl but looks like a good option for all-natural psyllium fiber. It's a good point that I need to be patient with my body healing so thanks for mentioning that.
