    Hi Kelly I was the same. There were a lot of girls in the same situation. It’s the co codimol tablets. Some girls suggested prune juice or laxatives. X. I stopped taking the pain killers cos I wasn’t in much pain. The cramps were worse than my boobs x

    Oh I see! Thanks Sarah! To be honest they didn’t help much so I stopped taking them yesterday and went on to ibuprofen. I hope it goes by the time I have my straps taken off x

    Drink lots of water and eat lots of fiber rich foods – that should help xxx

    Kelly I am 8days PO and still bloated. The toilet issues were the worst part of the whole thing for me. I can’t recommend prune juice enough and loads of fruit to get you moving again. My bloating is going down a little every day.
