Hi girls I’m 3 days post op my tummy feels so bloated and swollen I look disgusting just wondering how long it takes for this to go down or whether I’m the only one with a bloated tummy 🙁 xx
I’m sooo bloated hun 🙁 I’m just making sure that I drink loads of water and plenty of veggies.. If it doesn’t get any better then I’m going to get some Ex-lax or senakot
Most of us have been bloated after the op, so don’t worry, it’s normal and does go. Took me about 10 days I’d say to go down. Think it’s the meds. Also if you’re ‘bunged’ up get some senacot and drink fresh orange juice and that should help within a day or so xx
Gemma, buy some Senakot and take two before bed then drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up and I promise the problem will be sorted. It’s horrible taking all these meds but it will be worth it. X
On my goodness my belly is so swollen I can’t actually breathe out anymore , I look 4 months pregnant, I haven’t felt or needed to go to the toilet since my op tho sorry too much info I’ve been drinking so much water, have been having take aways as easy since the op Wednesday but having a load of veg tonight, wow hope it helps so glad it’s not just me lol
Kelly don’t worry, everyone is the same.. I finally went after 6 days, but now I’m back to be really really bloated, thank god for leggings and pj bottoms haha x
The pain relief causes the tummy to slow down and anti-biotics cause the bloating. Laxatives fluids and plenty of fruit and veg will help….. Good luck girls. I still have six weeks to wait for mine, have had plenty of tips though so thank you girls x
Oh thank goodness eh. This is my last full day of meds today, then just one round to take left tomorrow, veg didn’t help last night, having lamb and veg again today, its horrible, strapping annoying my nipples are so sensitive they feel like their gonna drop off, i just wanna sleep properly and ive not had a ciggy or a glass of vino in 10 days…arghh! Get my strapping off Wednesday cant come quick enough hope all u guys are coping ok xc
I’ve are loads of veg & fruit & tried senokot, nothing has helped. I do now have 50 bags of green tea though haha, which a lot of people swear by! I just wish it tasted better x
The anti-bs helped me go! Jesus I always suffer with them! Was a relief though I ain’t going to lie. Once you go girls you will be back to normal, just all the meds slowing your body down, all this for boobies eh! xx
