I agree with DoreenT.

My DH had the same surgery for massive anal fissures and gigantic hemorrhoids. He had a diet poor in fiber and lack of hydration which led to dry hard stools which he strained to move.

He is now using BeneFiber twice a day, eating more fiber and drinking a lot more water. I also am giving him 1 tbsp. of Flax Seed Oil twice a day. (prescribed by me)

Eating nuts can be a problem if not chewed completely. Also anything with seeds in them, tomatoes, sesame seeds and so on can cause colon distress.

Did you have a colonoscopy with your surgery?
