Nausea and swollen stomach/ waist

Well I had my op on Sunday, extra high profile overs so I’m on PoD 2. Feeling really nauseous today and my sides and stomach have bloated so much I look square. My waist doesn’t go in anymore it’s like my body is straight whereas I was usually hourglass. Did anyone else get this? Please tell me it all goes!! X

I havnt had my op yet but from reading many other posts on here, it’s quite normal and will go away. 🙂 believe it’s just side effects from all the meds your taking. Maybe drink and eat things that will help reduce the bloating like fruit juices etc

Hi Hun I’m 24 days po and I had a really bloated stomach for about 16 days……I could of cried my stomach was bigger than my boobs. I was in discomfort because it was rock hard. But it does go down.
It’s because the operation can effect the upper part of your intestines causing it to swell up. Xx

Yeah I actually look fat with fat boobs now haha! Thanks girls good to know it will subside. Hoping the nausea goes pretty soon xx

The nausea might be down to the medication you are taking…..x

I look like a bowling ball !!!!

Haha my figure actually looked better and more in proportion before the op! My waist and stomach are sticking out more than my boobs!!

My stomach has really swollen aswell hun which i wasnt expecting. Iv seen the nurse and she said its to be expected. She told me to keep taking ibroprofen as this helps the swelling xx

I was really “airy” can be down to tube that goes down your throat during the op…I’m 4 days post op and that’s gone now and the sickness I had on day 1 and 2 , which set my recovery back so I stopped taking the cocodamole and replaced with paracetamol or ibuprofen but thankfully don’t seem to need much pain relief now (this is my second op though) x
