I think you might do better to eat just a little if you can manage to: maybe soup or broth, and some vegetables. If the fissure flares up, hot baths are a good idea, and help to reduce inflammation.
Maybe you could ask your GP to prescribe something for the pain? Some posters here have found that the anticonvulsant gabapentin is effective, and for me pregabalin has a similar pain-reducing effect, while also lessening anxiety.
