It was the strangest thing.
Oh boy was there pain though.
You go to the bathroom constantly. Probably 20 or more times a day. It was like my colitis was back. Only it was a pain in my butt this time. Literally. So bad I would cry. I will never forget the pain of this for as long as I live.
One of my friends told me I was walking like I had a stick up my butt. I wasn't surprised. It felt like I did.

I told my doctor at my two week appointment. He recommended Imodium and bananas. And lots of diaper cream.
What I have found helps the pain the best is a routine of Imodium and Metamucil. Two Imodium before bed. One glass of Metamucil in the morning. This combination has reduced the number of times I need to go a day and has helped thicken things up. Those of you who are going through it know what I am talking about.
I also take a baking soda bath every night to help soothe the pain. Between half a cup and a full cup of baking soda mixed with hot bath water. I sit in it for 20 or 30 minutes and read a book.
It has been ten weeks since my resection. I am hoping it will get better soon.
