Well it's been 2 weeks now and I'm feeling good. All surgery pain and discomfort is gone and I feel pretty normal. Still eating lots of fiber, drinking lots of water and taking 1 colace at night. Still doing at least 3 sitz baths per day. I think being constipated from Advil 4 days after my surgery is what really set me back the first week. No pain or bleeding during bm's now that i'm off advil and keeping up a very high fiber diet.
Just wanted to update you! Thanks for all your help and support through this!
The itch isn't too bad, i have been keeping the area very dry which has helped. I think if i just am VERY careful about keeping my diet full of water and high in fiber, plus taking lots of sitz baths, i should be able to heal.
Any thoughts on taking Colace long term? I want to stay on the 1 per night until I am all healed... maybe 5 weeks?
