    Hi everyone,
    I am 9 days post op and still SO bloated! I actually do look pregnant. I cant tell whether I am hungry, need the loo, thirsty…it’s driving me crazy!
    Is anyone else in the same boat? When does it stop?
    I thought when I stopped taking the medication it would get better but it actually hasn’t made a difference.
    Heeeeellllllpppp!

    Omg I’m glad I’m not the only one!!!!! I’m 13 days post op but the next told me it can take a few weeks! I’m so petite and my waist is usually tiny and I again look 9 months pregnant 🙁 xxx

    Oh sorry to hear your suffering too (but I am slightly relieved that I’m not the only one!)
    It’s a nightmare isn’t it?
    Oh man, I hope it doesn’t last for a few weeks! If I discover something that helps I’ll let you know!

    Totally the same! I had mine on Tuesday so five days ago and i had no idea it would be this bad apparently the nurse said its the anesthetic and medicines that cause you to bloat. I’ve been recommended peppermint tea that’s supposed to help with swelling and that’s type of stuff but I’m not a doctor lol! Hope this helps anyone! Xxx

    Thanks Stephanie, yeah I thought it may stop once I had finished the antibiotics but actually it’s just as bad. ?
    I’ve tried peppermint tea this evening, fingers crossed it helps!

    I’m not entirely sure Isabella!
    I’m 13 days post op and I’m still slightly bloated!
    I bought some wind relief tablets and they really help.
