Bloated after op? :( Started by: Capricorn86

Hi @Capricorn86 i got really bloated was so uncomfortable! Its from the GA and codine in the pain killers they give you. It took me over a week to be able to go to the loo and my tummys only just started going down 🙁 try diclofex! x

I am a week on and I’m not bloated so to speak, but look really chunky and wobbly. I didn’t need any meds except antibiotics so it can’t be that and I’m pretty sure I haven’t put on that much weight since the op but I feel like I’ve put about half a stone on!!!

Oh bless, I haven’t had problems with going to the toilet, but I’m so wobbly. I was starting to think its just swelling from surgery (down to my belly button and water retention ha ha. Spoke to the nurse yesterday and she gave me the okay to go on the bike so i tried to cycle it off today xx

Hi @Capricorn86,
Just asked you about this in my PM to you before I saw this thread. Im with you girls on this one, day 13 and still Im really bloated, Ive been ‘going’ ok from day 5, and came off all tablets day 7, so hoped it would’ve gone down slightly…but no!! I hate it as it stands out more than my boobs.
I did a little online research, and Peppermint tea is supposed to be good for bloating, Im on my second day of drinking it.. hoping for the best, anything is worth a try xx

I actually felt like I was going self combust! The bloatedness was so much more uncomfortable than the actually op! Get yourself some prune juice and drink plenty of water it worked a treat for me, my belly has gone flat again. No laxatives worked for me until I had two glasses of prune juice, as gross as it was it really does work . Hope your feeling better soon xx
