@Davo - Your post has helped me so much, I have even told my friends. I keep saying "I wanna be like the guy on the fissure website and drink a beer and eat steak!' As for exercise what do you recommend? I had been going to the gym 3 times a week and doing a lot of cardio. As things with the fissure got worse and worse I slowed down and started just walking on the treadmill. I don't want to make things worse but would love to get back to the gym asap. You think walking on the treadmill would be all right? Should i wait another week?
@Kat Don't worry about the BM you are going to be fine and happy. Easier said than done I know.
So yesterday I feel I am improving. Was able to take a walk a couple blocks to the coffee shop and the post office near my house so that felt good. I also had some friends over last night and we ate Dominos pizza!
Actually had 2 BM yesterday. The second was fairly large and had some of the old fissure type burn after it came out. The big difference is the burn/pain did not last for longer than a minute or two which was great.
This morning BM was again somewhat large and a little uncomfortable but no agonizing pain.
Overnight and most of yesterday no really heavy leakage just some streaking. I am pretty sure the streaking is blood and not liquid stool.
One thing I forgot to mention which makes things odd is, they shave you for this operation. I am not a super hairy guy but enough to where being shaved in the area feels strange. It has been prickly and itchy and I maybe have a bit of razor burn.
Anyway, feeling great today and in a good mood so far. Thanks everybody.
