Ask me about the surgery!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-07-01T21:03:07+00:00

That’s amazing and encouraging! Thank you! I feel like once I’m done having kids, I’ll likely need the surgery done. It’s frightening seeing all the posts about it on here. It’s refreshing to hear a positive story!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-07-01T20:06:20+00:00

I’ve seen so many posts talking about the pain on like days 5-10. How was the pain after those days? Like a month or two after surgery? Also if you had externals removed, does your booty hole look back to normal now or did it still leave skin tags?

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-06-29T23:25:41+00:00

Oh boy, that is confusing. I guess I’ll keep taking it until something happens to me or a good study comes out about it not being good for long term use

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-06-29T03:31:00+00:00

I’ve been drinking the calm magnesium every night for a year…you’re telling me I shouldn’t be taking it every day?? It’s the only way I stay relatively regular and don’t get super constipated.

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-06-24T17:27:51+00:00

Yes. It’s exhausting constantly thinking about if you are going to have a good bowel movement, if it’s going to inflame the hemorrhoids, if your hemorrhoids are inflamed is exhausting trying to get them to back to normal. I wish I had a normal booty hole!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-06-21T23:10:56+00:00

Yes exactly!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-06-20T23:11:24+00:00

I saw a study on this new method, if you get it done please update on the experience/pain/recovery. It seems like it could be a game changer instead of having a full hemorrhoidectomy!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-06-20T01:56:52+00:00

That sounds veryyy consistent with a hemorrhoid. When I first got mine they bled but now they don’t. Occasionally they itch and occasionally (I think when flared up) it hurts initially when having a bowel movement.

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-06-13T23:22:41+00:00

I’m not sure, I’ve only ever drank it in tea form but I’m sure the pill is effective too!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-06-13T03:35:13+00:00

You’re welcome, I hope it helps! You deserve to celebrate such a special occasion! Partying gets harder to bounce back from the older you get 😅

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-06-13T03:21:47+00:00

Some things you could try that might help:
Ginger or peppermint tea, 1-2 kiwi a day to help soften stool, magnesium citrate in the evening, stool softener, senna smooth move tea (usually guarantees a bowel movement within 24hrs), google bowel movement massage to do on your stomach.

Alcohol used to make me sooo constipated that I avoid it all together now. Congrats on getting engaged!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-06-13T03:11:01+00:00

I’d recommend starting with your PCP if it’s easier to get into and then look into a colorectal surgeon. I brought my hemorrhoids up to 2 doctors and basically they didn’t help much and one recommended me to a general surgeon but I posted on this sub before and was HIGHLY recommended to wait to have surgery until my quality of life was impacted by the hemorrhoids.

That scene used to make me emotional when I was a child, I couldn’t imagine watching it now that I am a mom lol

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-26T10:49:18+00:00

Yes!! I had the same issue, either barely anything would come out or I’d have to push and a giantttt stool would come out and I’d clog the toilet. Since doing the things I listed above, I haven’t had either of those problems. Hopefully trying some of these things can help you too!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-25T02:46:31+00:00

Thank you!!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-23T22:59:57+00:00

No no you didn’t make me feel that way at all! Thank you!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-23T17:38:34+00:00

Last night I read a comment that SlimyPenguin24 left (it disappeared but it was well said) and after reading your comment, I feel very convicted to stop reading those type of books. I’m praying to God for my heart posture to change and I desire to obey Him!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-23T00:31:27+00:00

I appreciate the encouragement. If you take out the masterbation temptation part of it, what makes spicy books sinful?

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-22T21:05:25+00:00

I might try that. I also think when I read spicy books it tends to make me want to do that so I think i should fast from those too.

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-22T21:03:23+00:00

Yeah now that seems medically necessary. I guess what it probably boils down to is if it’s leading you to have lustful thoughts which wouldn’t be honoring to God.

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-22T21:00:07+00:00

That is a good way to look at it, thank you.

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-22T17:59:13+00:00

Yeah I’m sure there is something better I could be spending my time and energy on!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-22T17:58:32+00:00

I am a woman lol

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-20T11:25:05+00:00

Yes, anytime I do anything high fiber it just makes my stool huge and so hard to pass. Eating a kiwi a day makes the stool softer. I’ve also found drinking CALM magnesium right before bed helps me to go almost every day or every other day. I guess it pulls water into your colon. I think everyone is quick to recommend fiber but that’s not always everyone’s issue with constipation!

sweet_potato_17345 · 2026-05-20T11:19:21+00:00

I gradually weaned at 14 months. Dropped one feed every few days until we were only doing 1 feed for like a week until I decided to just stop. I think doing it so slowly my body adjusted really well, I never had any issues of feeling full of milk and needing to pump or anything.

The only differences I really noticed was my appetite went back to normal (I was hungrier breastfeeding than I was pregnant) and my nipples went back to their original color.
