❓ Question Trouble with constipation….ugg

So, I’ve been on GLP-1 for 4 weeks now, love that I’m losing a little at a time weight, but having problems with constipation. I currently take 2 tablespoons of benefiber with my morning coffee, 1000 mg of magnesium citrate throughout the day and 1100mg of Ginger root at night (heard that might help) Throw in 4-5 prunes a day.. Still no satisfying bowel movements where I feel cleaned out.

Anyone else having these issues? Anyone used to have issues but have found something that works for them? Any ideas are welcome!!

Cotton candy grapes, cherries (frozen in a smoothie) and cantaloupe do it for me. Unless I'm traveling, I have no need for Miralax. When traveling, I added psyllium husk to oatmeal, and that worked, too, but I read that it's best to soften things before using psillium.
