Work-up appropriate: Before laxative use & dependency, seek medical evaluation--rule out metabolic causes of constipation (e.g. Low thyroid or adrenal conditions), distinguish slow versus normal transit constipation, consider a primary rectal dysfunction that may be treatable with biofeedback, check for structural pathology, extrinsic impingement, or intermittent ileus (e.g. Pseudo-obstruction). Doubt due to your sod.

Fluids,stool softner: You need to drink more fluids.Use stool softened like docusate sodium, and laxative like miralax (polyethylene glycol).Along with all that you have to increase fiber in your diet for long term prevention of constipation.If it is not successful at this time you can use dulcolax supositories for now or a fleets enema. We don't know when you had gall bladder surgery.If recent check with your doctor first about diet.
