Where to start...
Day 6
Last night was quite good yet terribly annoying! I went to the toilet 5 times, not much pain thought. My diet is quite terrible at the moment...
I am terrified of food after the first night after the op when i went to the loo and thought my stiches will not hold the pressure... Loads of pain which felt like the old experiences with my AF.
All I had was a bowl of liquidized veg soup and one cooked potato... Passing it felt like passing a brick... When I could no longer stand it I drunk a sachet of movicol and the rest of the night was quite ok.
The last night was far more pain less :) during the day I had 3 skinned plums, half a banana, half a pear, 200ml of fortified milkshake (do not remember the brand but it is sold in cans) and a glass of prune juice before going to bed about 450-550 calories in total... That is far too less but at the moment i simply can not imagine to pass more... The other thing is that after this day's diet i took a sachet of movicol and the poo came out as liquid, thankfully it was not irritating it took me 5 trips to the toilet to finally purge my system. Still not much of the pain after each BM and only slight feeling of spasms. Now i feel quite painless
The biggest worry is that I have been using up to four sachets of movicol for the last half a year so I am a bit afraid that my anal canal is somewhat not responsive, and not as flexible as it should be... I am afraid that even if it heal up I will still have problems with passing anything thicker than a mountain dew...
I cut down the movicol to two sachets a day one in the morning and one in the evening, plus I am slowly trying to introduce fruity fibers in to my diet... I stopped eating meat, cheese and bread... I will stick to fruits and later on some soft cooked veg...
My Surgeon said that my Fissure was far too deep and long to heal on its own even with LIS in mind. He classified it as a deep chronic posterior AF.
That is why he performed the Anal Advancement flap and LIS. Whole last year was pure hell, thankfully I am starting to believe that things will improve.
I am sure it is still far to early to say it was succesful or not but if I manage to balance my fibre to movicol ratio things will be brilliant!
Tha task in hand is quite hard as i will need to standarize all I eat and drink to produce that perfect runny but not liquified poo
I will try to eat a whole banana instead of just half, and maybe an additional plum plus maybe try to mix my fortified milk drink with fybrogel and see if things improve at all...
Lets hope for the best
