First bowel movement after LIFT surgery, any advice

Hi everyone, I had my LIFT yesterday and I’m worried about my first bowel movement. I’ve been eating fruit, Jell-O, and liquids since last night, including breakfast this morning. I think I’ll probably have my first bowel movement this afternoon. I’m considering taking a stool softener like psyllium husk. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
