Hi again. I hope it all goes well for you. I had a miserable time at first (as my consultant advised I would). However at 4 weeks it's all been worthwhile. Grit your teeth and keep smiling. Thinking of uou

So I am 4 dryad post OP. Just have pain at the site. I haven't had a bm yet and I know that's when the pain starts. I have been taking my pain meds every 4 hours. even if I don't really need them I will take them to see cuz I'm scared that it might be the time that I have to go to the bathroom. I'm drinking lots and lots of water taking stool softeners and miralax. I am dreading my first bm everyone one after. I did A. little fasting a fee days before so I think my first bm went come for a few more days.

well I'm about 10 days post op. still taking my percocets about every 4 hours but not through the night only sometimes I have to wake up and take some. I made an appointment for Monday to get a check up and probably refills on my prescriptions. so when I feel down there they still worse than they were before I went in but they're all crusty and hard. I've been taking milk of magnesia to help me go poop but usually a lot of water but I guess it's better than having it to be hard. and I guess I'm just a little frustrated because I thought it would be different down there not so lumpy and hard and bigger than it was before. the pain in the morning is probably the worst and of course having bm also.
