My doctor recommended Miralax powder and it really works great for me. I take it 2 days in a row when I start having trouble and it starts to work great the next day and seems to keep working a few days after as well.

Increase your whole grains as well as fiber rich fruits and veggies.
Usually OTC stool softeners are okay to use, like miralax or colace (check with your Dr first)
Glycerin suppositories also work well
