Golly gosh, i read about being bloated after the opp, but bugger me…im a whale! 4 days post opp and still im gettin more bloated! Anyone else with this problem/ How long does it take to go away?? xx
It does go eventually honey,when you feel up to walking around,try to get up and about,dont push yourself,your body will tell you when you have done too much,but gentle walking will get everything moving again so you start to feel less bloated,xxx
My bloating took two weeks to settle but I was comfort eating crisps and chocolate and quite inactive. Try to keep those legs going gently. No arm exercise tho. I promise the bloating goes I was quite shocked at how bloated I was. I looked six months pregnant. It’ll go soon don’t worry xxxx
Took at least 2 weeks for me too. Didn’t weigh any more I just looked 6 months pregnant!
aaargh feel d same hun, feel like a beach whale, its awful, ive had movicol n laxative n still look like am about 2 give birth, dis rate wont be able to fit in me work clothes lol xxx
Hahhaa Im now 4 days post opp and im walkign about fine even went into town on saturday day, Going into town again today for a bit of shopping the worst pain is the bloating! xx
It’s day four of my boobie journey and I am still quite bloated.
It’s got a lot better, I mean yesterday I was ready to go insane because of it.. I’ve taken dulcoease and gaviscon for the last couple of days and it seems to be working. I suppose it’s different for different people but mine seems to be going down already luckily. Have a little walk hun, it’s surprising how much it helps

im 18 days post op and im still a bit bloated. i looked like i was literally 9 months pregnant though up until about 10days?? i got lactulose syrup which helped and prune juice! it is vile but really does the trick! x
Hi all, silly question but… why do you get bloated? confused.com!

OMG the bloating is BAD. I have been eating way more fruit and veg than i normally do, plus drinking loads of water. Had charcoal tablets and dulcoease, and nothing is shifting. Its a bit depressing when you’ve had a boob job and your belly looks bigger than the boobs!!! My hubby can’t stop laughing his head off asking if Mr T put the implants in another part of my body too!!! I have no pain, just a massive belly!
i had to see my gp twice cos i was the same- nothing was working- fibogel drinks, fruit, veg, charcoal tablets… the list goes on. in the end i had prune juice, ducosate sodium tablets and lactulose syrup. this combo worked for me. i was devastated about the size of my belly but im getting there now- 18 days later. you can see the size of my stomach on my photos and that was after it started to go down! horrific! it will get better though! x
gtown… can i add you for some comfort?! I’m going to get my hubby to get down to boots for that combo now! thanks;-) dreading the prune juice!!! eughhh
Wow I didnt realise it was such a common thing! I’m going to get stocked up! gtown can I add you to have a peek please? xx
