Sorry to hear you are struggling so much. It is not uncommon for things to get worse before they get better though after rectal surgery, and especially before the botox to kick in. That first 2 weeks until it starts to work can be rough. Hang in there.
As for the fibre, you still want to make sure you get some of that kind of fibre as it keeps you regular too. It's a matter of finding the right balance, which can be tough because everyone is different. Hopefully things will the turn the corner for you real soon.
