I haven't read everybody's suggestions here but for me it's cooked spinach with butter every couple of days. It seems to help keep me regular much better than broccoli does. Also if I need dynamite to get moving I take a zantac and within 24 hours I'm good. Almost forgot water not only helps with keeping regular it also helps with swelling for ladies. In the morning a cup of coffee gets it going too.
my cure all in that dept is watermellon.
fiber and LOTS of moisture (and i love the taste) plus its wls aproved so i can have it despite my surgery, for me its a good way to get in alot of fiber and moisture in one go as i cant drink and eat together normally and i can only sip when i drink so...

Absolutely unbelievable results from a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses dissolved in a half glass of water, and then stir in a big tablespoon of whole psyllium seed husk and drink immediately. (not nearly as gross as it sounds) Follow with another glass of water. Yes to lots of other fruits and veggies and plenty of fluids, but I take prescribed opiate pain medication for fibromyalgia pain, which will shut you down in a heartbeat, and this is the thing that works for me.
Eat a high fiber ceral in the am, followed by an apple late morning, a couple prunes in the afternoon if you like them (I do!!) and a mangesium supplement before bed. Lot's of liquid, water, tea, etc. Do this everyday and you won't have to worry much about it.

Thanks to everyone here, I am going to make sure to buy yummy fruit and put more fiber in my daily diet.

Bananas, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, leafy green lettuce, leafy spinach lettuce, and prune juice (I hate it, but I also hate regular prunes too).
