4 and a 1/2 weeks Post-Op

Jun 16, 2016

Hello everyone,

First time posting! I am 4 and a half weeks post op and been having some trouble in the bathroom........my first bowel movement was painful but not too bad. Then everything was fine for a week or two and last Saturday was probably the most painful thing since surgery I ended up passing the movement but it was soooo painful and still is today, like 5 days later. I had another bout last night which was equally as painful and ended up using a Preparation H suppository in hopes that it would help - it did help some but was still uncomfortable when I woke up this morning and sitting at my desk all day today. Anyways - can anyone share what my next step should be? My PA suggested Colace, Benefiber and drinking all my fluids (which im still having trouble with because of a set back two weeks after my surgery due to refried beans )

I am striving to get to 64 ounces of fluid everyday! How long will it take to heal so that I don't dread going to the bathroom? I am literally terrified even thinking about having to go :(

Any insight/criticism/advice is more than welcome and sorry for the TMI.
