We are in a similar situation! I too had surgery on August 5th. Except, I just had an anal ulcerectomy. I wanted the LIS but the CRS didn't want to do that surgery because the risk of incontinence. I am a 24 year old female and just had a baby on February. My fissure got to the point of hurting way too bad that I had to get something done. They told me to take milk of magnesia if I hadn't had a bowel movement in 2 days. That definitely open things up for me. Almost a little too much. I also have been taking Colace 200mg twice a day, miralax once a day, and drinking plenty of water. So far, I have had a bowel movement almost every day. I immediately get into the bath tub right after and it has helped the pain tons. Good luck to you!
