Bloating! Started by: kaylee asbury

Kaylee, I’m also 2 days po and so flipping bloated lol! I feel like I did when I was 5 months pregnant haha 😉 how is the pain today? I’m struggling a bit to be honest, never expected to be in this much discomfort, but I’m sure tomorrow will be better. Hope you’re doing ok Hun xxx

It’s the anaesthetic as well as the pain killers and antibiotics I was awful first few days felt like I was going to pop even though I was barely eating because I was so un well. I found drinking loads and loads of water eating planting of fruit and fibre foods did the trick I also stayed away from caffeine it’s helped me x

Hey, actually since writing the last post my pain has significantly decreased! I applied an ice pack and I feel much less swollen on my chest area. The pain seems to change, sometimes it’s mostly down the sides of my ribs, other times my breastbone feels really sore and then sometimes I just feel so swollen and my strapping feels so tight. Right now I probably feel the most comfortable I’ve felt but I’m still having to spend most of the time resting. My children are not impressed especially my little lady who is desperate for a snuggle 🙁
Bloating wise, I look like a fatty haha but going to keep drinking lots of water and eating fruit/veg and I know it will pass.
It’s so nice to speak to others going through the same xxxx

Oh god kaylee my strapping is so high too, it’s pissing me off lol! I have been using wipes under my arms and had a very shallow bath to wash my lower body. Not sure if we can use deodorant yet?
Sorry you’re feeling Crap now 🙁 are yours overs or unders? I thought I was pretty hardcore after a completely drug free birth with my first child and breezing through a csection with my twins…. But this has been harder than I thought it would be! I feel so restricted! My strapping comes off Tuesday, can’t wait! But worried about being pulled about to get it off if I still feel so uncomfortable :/ xxx

yeah hun I looked 7 months pregnant im 9 days and gone down loads im trying not to have anu cocodamol now and have been taking water retention tablets and drinking loads of water……………..cocodamol can make you constipated so try to eat well to ……..it will go down its very annoying though xxxx

pain was worse day 2-4 then I got used too it but I didn’t really get too rest that much but I think it prob helped as im day 9… and I washed my hair over the bath myself this morn and have cleaned last few days but they are sore still but im quite restless n have 2 yr old so dnt get to rest much………the first 5 days are very painful though hun but you do get used to it………my tummys still a bit sore from the bloating but I don’t mind just glad im not as bloated anymore………..and not had any painkillers in 2 days which is good but might have one before bed as im a bit achey now 🙂 xxx

I’m only 2 days post op and got on the scales…. literally put on 3/4 of a stone!!! Jesus didn’t expect that. Had 350cc hp unders. Very pleased but feel so fat! Itching to exercise:(

Oh my god!! Yes I have also piled on 6lbs and i worked out the implants are about 1lb each?! I am also full of bloat and can’t wait to get off the antibiotics they are making me feel so big! I have started walking now to see if that helps, i walked my daughter to school this morning and i am 5 days PO. x
