Why bloat after op? Started by: Anonymous

I had it for at least 2 weeks and i wasn’t even constipated because i took laxatives and the bloat didn’t go away until i started dieting/detoxing i went on a law salt diet because the bloat is water retention so you need to cut down on salt, i also drank 2 liters of water a day with lemon juice squeezed on the water, sometimes i would add slices of cucumber and mint to that lemon water overnight and drink it the next day, and i had 2 cups of boiled peppermint. Also try to go for walks if you can, i was going for walks around the house for a 5 min walk and up the stairs every hour, just try moving around as much as you can and you’ll be fine xx

I personally dont know hun but i always see people mentioning cutting out salt and drinking more water.. which is now known as the conplete opposite, less salt and more wter will in fact cause water retention.. just like butter was know as the devil now know as a healthly fat.
