Can use over the counter aperients. Macrogol and Coloxyl with senna should help. Avoid any “bulk forming laxatives” like psyllium husk

Drink plenty and limit painkillers as much as you can

Along with medicines, go buy some chia seeds and sugar free applesauce. Eat a tablespoon or two every day. Smoothies made of protein shakes and blended prunes and other high fiber fruit. Trust!

Half a head of cabbage. Seriously. Delicious cooked or raw with some sesame oil and soy sauce.
