Sarah,
Just wanted to wish you all the best tomorrow with your surgery x I hope it goes smoothly, wish you speedy recovery and hope that you get healed very soon. I've not had LIS but heard it takes an average of a month or two to heal to be feeling "normal" again...so all the very best.
I had surgery today myself.....did everything as normal pre-op - bathed/ starved!!/ took my meds and now I just have to continue my diet and fluids as normal, REST and just take a few days off work to assist recovery. Will continue to take my stool softener, C Vit, Zinc, probiotics as usual.....
IMO continue with the Metamucil and can't see it would do you any harm to take it this evening nor would a sitz bath do you any harm either. You'll feel fresh and clean for your op too. Good luck with it all, try not to worry and stress too much and be kind to yourself and your body. Keep us updated & healing hugs xx
