When will I be skinny again? SEVERE BLOAT…

Hi girls isit normal to be severely bloated ???? My stomach is sticking out so much it’s uncomfortable 🙁
I seriously (no exaggeration) look 5 months pregnant, I feel really ugly can’t even hide it in my clothes dreading leaving the house tomoro people are going to ask if I’m pregnant if they see my belly they won’t even notice my new boobs cos my belly Is so big.

I’m 6 days post op today iv been off codeine for 3 days now only taking Paracetmol, last day on antibiotics was today, I’m drinking loads & loads of water. Eating healthy.

Please help thank u xxxx

Hey it seems to happen to us all but I don’t really know what causes it. I suffer from bloating anyway so after my op I had it even worse and lasted 3 weeks but most girls seems to calm down a lot sooner. I know how you feel I felt horrible and was crying cos I looked like a pregnant woman In some sort of maternity bra with the macom.
Unfortunately nothing worked for me but usually I would drink peppermint tea which helps so maybe try that xxx

I look and feel horrific what the hell causes it I wonder?!! Even if I try to breathe in it doesn’t go away. If u didn’t know me and seen me right now ud probably say “awww how long u got left” it’s that bad I hope it goes soon 🙁

Thanks for replying hun glad it isn’t just me!! Xxx

I’m POD 8 and I’m still the same, even my boyfriend commented on it haha. I’m hoping it goes back to normal before I go back to work because all of my trousers are just too tight.

Hiya, I had this bloating really bad. The Mya nurse actually thought I was pregnant & told me to do a test straight away & to go my doctors asap as it was so bad 2 weeks after surgery! I went the doctors & it turned out just to be fluids draining from boobs into stomach as swelling moves down the body. My stomach still feels bruised & tender. I’m nearly 4 weeks PO & it’s only just starting to shift! I put on a stone in weight! An I’m not pregnant ???? I found walking on the treadmill, having small meals & drinking peppermint tea has helped me loose the extra boobie weight xx

The ???? was the smilie face sign! Doesn’t show on this! Xx

I drank a lot of hot water with lemon and camomile tea and that seemed to help mine go down. Mine looked like I was pregnant too and my partner also commented on it and I just laughed. I was quite lucky mine only lasted a week xx

I had it too. It takes a while to go down!! But it will eventually go.
But it’s certainly not s good look

Thanks girls glad it’s not just me! I hope it goes down asap can’t cope with this pregnant look much longer 🙁

Drink loads of lemon and hot water Hun, also in holland and Barrett there are dandilion tablets and tea bags which help you get rid of any fluid your body may be holding on to, I was always told about these when I felt bloated in the past so I’ve stocked up on those to. Xxx

Oh Hun I’m only 4 DPO & yesterday I was massive haha soooo bloated & uncomfortable! I’ve came off all medications now & just sticking to paracetamol & ice packs & also drank loads of fresh orange juice & today I’ve gone right down Hun x

Hi @Jameila, hope your healings going well! I’m so glad I’ve found this post, Im 4 days post op and feeling massive! It’s really starting to get me down, I thought I’d feel great with my new boobs but with all this bloating I look ridiculous! Are you back to normal now? And if so how long were you bloated for?xx

hi lovely! hope your healing ok.

I had the worse bloating too and it made me feel so bad!! my stomach was sticking out as much as my boobs. I stopped taking pain killers and my bloating has basically vanished! I stopped taking painkillers 4DPO and have finished my antibiotics now and my stomach is going back down, can see my abs again!! think it just takes time xx

@jorjah my bloating lasted about 12 days it was awful hope your feeling better soon hun xx

I never knew the fluid from your boobs would go down into your stomach?!
I’m exaaactly the same! Struggled to button up my trousers this morning. I’m 7 days Post op, i’m hoping mine goes away before i go back to work! Will try those dandelion tablets tho! How much were they?

I ate rennie deflatines for the first 4 days after getting the bloat and i’d say it went around 1WPO xx

Aww im so bloated too, i look 6 months pregnant. Belly is so hard! Think i need to get them rennie dannii, thanks for that tip 🙂 xxx
