Hi, all! I had a partial LIS on Friday. Had my first BM on Saturday night and no blood or pain. Had another BM on Sunday evening and Monday morning and everything was great. I was up and running the day after surgery. I have not taken or needed any pain killers.
I had a second BM last night and there was some blood on the tissue. Tried not to freak. Felt a little sore "below", but not like pre-LIS.
I had another BM this morning and there was a thick streak up the entire BM and blood in the toilet (as I always had pre-LIS but this was the first time since after the LIS. Just had two more BM's (something I ate must have irritated my stomach because the BM went from normal to diarrhea). This time there were almost blood clot looking things in the toilet (although I had seen that with diarrhea pre-LIS). There was also a significant amount of blood on the tissue after the first gentle wipe and none after getting out of the tub and none now.
Surgery was only 4 days ago, but wondering if it is "normal". The surgeon never said what to expect except that I could have surgery on a Friday and go back to work on Monday.
