I just had my third BM. I feel kind of a lot of pressure during BMs. I feel like I'm pushing more then I should, but today I had no blood (first time) since surgery. I have had no pain besides feeling the stitches during the pressure of the BM (although I never had pain DURING, the AF would always burn after and I would spasm for hours, which is all but a bad nightmare in the past (it's amazing). But the pain I do experience (if you'd even talk it pain. Pre LIS, 7-10 pain after. Post LIS, just a strange feeling and a 2/10 ache.
So my real question, when I finish I still feel a lot of pressure down there. It's uncomfortable but nothing compared to fissure pain. Like I said I get an achy feeling which is uncomfortable, and pressure inside of my rectum. I don't feel like I didn't poop enough, I definitely finished, but am worried I'm pushing too hard. Can everyone relate to the ache and pressure?
EDIT: I forgot to add, I only took Percocet 4 pills the day of surgery, and one pill after each BM just as precaution. I have been taking miralax and stool softener daily and drink ungodly amounts of water. I'm not constipated by any means, and the poop is soft. Going to start increasing fiber intake today. Fiber makes my poop huge and I was scared to take it for the first few days. I'm glad I didn't.
