Day 3: 8:15 PM
Today was a good day. Very little pain besides the pain from the morning BM. 2 soaks, keeping up on Advil/Tylenol. Blood discharge has been less.
I ended up walking (very slowly) for about 45 minutes today. And also took a trip to the store, and got my boys some DQ ice cream (I did not partake) I seem to be much better right now than prior to the surgery, dealing with surgery pain is a lot easier than the fissure pain so far.
Ate pretty normal today. Calories have been lower, but generally eating what I would eat before the fissure minus the bad stuff like candy, cookies and other baked goods, ice cream, pizza, cheese, etc. At the moment I'm avoiding seeds and nuts too, but hope to add that back in, in the near future.
Tonight I'm going to do my Miralax with some Benefiber for my nightly cocktail. Trying to keep up with the morning BM routine. I'm a so tied to that, but hope I am not forcing it too much. A little bit of stress around this. I had one sensation of feeling like I had to go earlier today, sat on the toilet for about 30 seconds and gave up quickly, as the earlier movements were super easy.
