Two weeks post surgery - I had a BM #5 with a little pain and some bleeding. Darn I had gone about 4 days with no bleeding. I did not have the major after pain, but I did have some nerve spikes in the fissure area. I am having a difficult time keeping my BMs regular as I range from one to three BMs a day. The BM's are soft from #5 to #7. I am taking one full dose of MiraLax per day. I have had to put a little more of none fiber into my diet to keep the stools smaller, so far it has not changed the texture of the stools. I have been working on having a BM with no pushing, but sometimes I do not empty and will have another BM in a couple of hours.
Post 15 days - today I had two #6 BMs (four hours apart) and I did have some minor after pain on the second one for about 30 minutes, but no bleeding from the BMs. My rear end is tender with still with some nerve spikes in the fissure area. I am also feeling a little pain in the hem banding on the right side. Today I had some gas escape while bending over doing some house cleaning. If the stool is watery, I only have a couple of minutes to make to the restroom or I feel that I could have a stool accident.
