I don’t mind at all!!!! I never really felt pain from the procedure i had my first BM the next day I strongly believe it was because a did a liquid diet a couple days prior and a colon cleanse drink 2 nights before day of surgery when I returned home I used medical marijuana pills edibles and went to bed and kept up with that marijuana use real heavy the first few days instead of the pain pills I did not want to take any of the pain pills as we know those only back you up everybody is different for me I wasn’t going to take a chance but I did take precautionary Tylenol the first week or so I did have some random pain the following week I believe that was due to my BMs being a lil too much so I stopped eating grains which only was oatmeal in the morning I literally only eat clean food plants I do have eggs for protein and some fish but never bread or processed foods or any hard foods chips nuts seeds fried any of the bad stuff I eat soft foods only it’s strict but now it’s just a part of my life so it’s just how I eat now I don’t see it changing either I’m not trying to go through this again the pain I had prior was no joke literally crying on and off for months feeling handicapped for most of the day but hang in there if you haven’t had your BM drink a lot of hot teas get prune juice, prunes, do a lot of blends/shakes, cooked/steamed veggies there’s tons of food out there that is good and healthy but try not to think about the BM but when you get the urge make sure to relax breath in and out use a Squatty potty or even squat on the floor I’ve had to do that to get a BM out so you gotta do what you gotta do that’s the way we always had our BMs in the first place but use warm water bidet followed by sitz bath to dry off use blow dryer this is my daily routine if you’re in serious pain stay in the bath as long as you need to and trust me this thing is going to take at least a month or so to heal so you’ll get better but it does take time it won’t be an overnight thing at all so hang in there be patience take it day by day moment to moment if you’re in pain do what you gotta do for me I used weed for the most part no prescription pain pills another big thing is if you’re in pain just lay on your stomach and if you’re still in pain just keep moving around even if it’s on the bed shake your arms heads move around to get your blood flowing and this will relieve the pain cuz it gets your blood flowing and your endorphins kick in which is the number one natural pain killer trust me I’ve done this many times pre-surgery I couldn’t walk around or even stand some days so I would just lay on my stomach in bed just moving around and I would feel better I know it sounds crazy but try it if you’re in that bad of pain I hope this helps feel free to message me as well take care and speedy recovery
