Yeah - I had nose-bleed-like bleeding too. Man, that sucked!! It sounds to me like you may have a re-tear. That's not uncommon, and it should heal up quick because your butt isn't so tight since the surgery. Definitely stick with the stools softeners and baths.
I have mentioned on other thread various foods that worked for me while I was recovering, but as JR says, people react differently to the same food. So I agree with Dawn that any food that gave you trouble before surgery you will probably want to aviod while you are recovering.
I'm sorry you're struggling - we all know you are going through. Recovery is a bumpy road and there are lots of ups and downs, and it can get very frustrating. Hang in there! Things will get better!
