It's average light fizz and I let it settle a bit if I have it room temperature I find it hard to take the fizz fills me up but ice cold the fizz don't seem that bad

I've posted a bit before about the severe problems I have with my bowels. I had to have surgery before my sleeve op. I'm on 2 ducolax and 2 senna and I've not been in a week again. @xk1rstyx what I'm finding helpful is a decent walk (when my body allows) as that seems to always result in a clear out. When my children were little if they got constipated we were told to cycle their legs for a little while and it always worked (my brother in law called it poo dough instead of play dough. Sorry 
) Anyway I'm not sure where you are exercise wise but thought I'd pass on the tip just in case.
Don't sweat the lb, I've lost the most after immediately post op when I managed to go several times in a week so it definitely has a big impact. X

Apparently...there a thing called the 'squatty potty' to help constipation amongst adults....google it. Im seriously considering getting one ....if things don't improve with my ibs symptoms.

Try not to worry too much about the pound gain, it all evens out over time. I try and avoid laxatives myself and some of what has worked for me has been supplements with magnesium in (although not since the op because the only ones I can find have calcium in and I already take calcium supplements), walking as Fee said and lately, prunes. Hope it gets sorted soon

I looked into one recently but my consultant says lifting up the seat and just sitting on the toilet gets you into the same sort of position. That was a revelation! I hope you're feeling better now @xk1rstyx xApparently...there a thing called the 'squatty potty' to help constipation amongst adults....google it.
