    Hi girls. Sorry for the explicit title but I need help!!! Lol. I’m 5 days PO and still haven’t been to the loo yet… I’m so so bloated I could pass as being 8 months preggers. I’ve taken laxatives (senokot) and nothing’s happened! I’ve tried drinking coke and having a Maccy Ds as before my op this always made me go but I’ve still not been :(:( before my op I’d lost weight and finally had a flat tummy and now I feel massive!! Does anyone have any tips?? 🙁 thanks girls xxxx

The other side of it I know this sounds horrible but for days after when I finally went to the toilet it was like passing rocks lol :/ I didn’t try anything to help but mayb try takin something tht will soften it?? I’m 3 weeks post op n only just feelin normal again lol xx

    You need something stronger than senokot, the chemist can advise to take something like lactulose! Or like already said you should be fine once you have come off the painkillers and antibiotics 🙂

    green tea (lots of cups) and prunes as well as meds like dulcolax works really well. Also coffee. loads of water too so when you do go it isn’t too painful/difficult. Don’t take more dulco than it says – I made this mistake because I took the recommended dose and was like ‘nothing is happening’ so decided to take more. Big mistake. My boyfriend woke up in the middle of the night to me crying on the loo. Not a hot look!! xxxx

    Lol! Me too! I’m 4 days post op from BA and Tummy tuck and haven’t been and my stomach is so bloated I feel so tight and uncomfy! They discharged me with lactulose as I’m not allowed to strain (cos of the TT lol) but now the stomach is just as strained from not going aaagh! Taken lots of green tea, coffee, water and nothing happening – had curry and ice cream tonight as that normally does it but now I just feel even bigger! 🙁 🙁 🙁 going to have to get some more stuff tomorrow I think!

    @sophie i think the lemonade cancels out the wine so it’s basically not drinking, don’t feel bad. I would do exactly the same – god no way will I be able to wait 2 weeks. honestly the green tea will work, sip it through the day tomorrow even though it is a bit rank. Hope the magic happens for you ladies tonight!! xxxx
