Yepp, i was taking the metamucil but i feel like it made it even harder to go. Like way more straining to get the poop out.

Yes I'm taking loperamide, 6 a day, not so sure it helps though. But the issue is the pressure and everytime some poop touches my anus it's like its gonna be pushed out immediately, even just a little...  This feels exactly like when i had uc, the rectum was inflamed and my anus felt inflamed too.. So now my anus feel inflamed or at least soar and swollen..

I think you're just still healing from the surgery and the pain and pressure will get better with time. Try not to eat anything with acid or anything spicy. Peanuts can also irritate your pouch, so avoid those to, for now.

I think a lot of the pain comes from the nerves regenerating in the area where the anus was reconstructed. That sensation takes at least a few months to go away. Get checked by your surgeon or gastroenterologist. They might put a camera in your pouch to check for inflammation. If you are inflamed, they may give you an antibiotic like Cipro.
