It's the 4th day since my LIS. Feeling OK but my concern is my bowel movement. Had my first BM the other day and it took 3 tries to completely empty out. I've been taking Miralax and works great. BMs are very soft like frozen yogurt but I can't seem to complete the BM in one attempt and this has been the case the last couple of days and even this morning. I'm slowly adding more fiber each day, wheat toast, veggies but afraid to bulk too much since fiber makes me bulkly in the past. My bottom feels a bit tight with the urge to go maybe from the slight swelling but not much pain down there. Is this normal?
I'm afraid to push so it takes me 2-3 attempts to empty my BMs completely throughout the day. I'm afraid these multiple attempts will irritate the area. I'm taking sitz baths each time and washing the area with light water. Anyone with a similar experience?
