I'm so sorry Sue. I wonder the same. I have good days and not so good days. I just got over some odd constipation that seems to occur the day before ovulation every month. Survived it fine only to later get some weird burning/stinging not during a BM. I had a yeast infection so I'm thinking it was related to that.
I'm traveling ok at the moment..but starting to notice bigger BM are now scraping that spot that suspect was where the hems were removed. It's not the same pain I had with the fissure but I did have it immediately before I got Botox and hem removal surgery. Externally everything's feeling fine. Botox is starting to wear off and things are starting to feel tighter which means formed BM seem to scrape that spot.
However, so far, fingers crossed, it's better than last month where I had occasional slight bleeding. So that's maybe a sign of healing more so I'll take it.
At this stage, I'm not sure if I'll get Botox repeated or continue to try to heal on my own.. I'm at 14 weeks post op and the crs said Botox can be repeated after 4 months. So I guess that means 6 more weeks to go to hit 5 months
Food wise I'm eating fairly normally. I find fruit is necessary though for soft BM. Maybe I'll clean up my diet.
I find moderation is key. You can eat bad foods, just don't eat too much food and you're good. But finding that balance between diarrhea and hard stools aka the fabled unicorn of poops aka soft serve poop is nearly impossible. Lol. I swing back and forth like a Katy Perry song.
