Bloating!

So I’m on day 2post opp and omg I’m so bloated feel like I’ve put on two dress sizes feel so uncomfortable:(. Anyone else had this?

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

Hi girls it’s the antibiotics that bloat you this will stop once you stop taking them try drinking lots of water and green tea it helped me xxx

@hayley I struggled so bad yesterday with pain I had to shed a few tears, think it was drive home and sitting so still, today I’m a lot better as I’ve been moving about which I find has helped. But I find I keep cups get under my breast as so heavy feel like they going to fall off:). @iram I carnt weight to stop taking them then honest I feel so uncomfortable, iv drank lots of green tea and water I’ll just keep it up:)…the only thing that won’t go away is my numb tongue apparently normal from anaesthetic. Xx

Ah so pleased your feeling better today Hun. Today has been worse for me but like I say tomorrow is a new day and will hopefully be better. Xx

@hayley where are you feeling the most pain? Try sitting in a nice warm bath just enough to cover your lady parts, are you taking 2cocodamol? Xx

I’m naturally prone to bloating which is a nightmare! But I drink a lot of twinings peppermint and nettle tea which works a treat for me and take a few rennies every now and then. I’m hoping these will still work for the serious post op bloat I’ve heard so much about lol xx

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

Hi
All great advice ! I just finished ab’s today but still bloated .. Apparently it can be air displacement?? 8 day post op today and I feel a bit human today ..

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

@hayley me and you must be tag team because I now feel so crap I’m in so much pain:(, think it’s because I’m 1hr away from having pain killers. My pain is is the same places as yours, where did you put ice pack? Do you think I should take my Macom bra off? The nurse said wear it for extra support but pc said strapping alone will be fine. Also what are people doing to clean arm pits?? I hate smells! Iv tried wiping with baby wipes only my strapping so high. Xx

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

Ps kaylee, I have been putting the ice pack around my breastbone area at the top of my boobs. It does seem to help 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

Thanks Cassandra 🙂 good to know it settles down! I’m going to cut down on my painkillers today and see if it helps. How did you find your recovery pain wise Hun? Xxx

@hayley I was in so much pain last night I thought my breasts was going to explode they went rock hard and a little warm, put it down to being man handled hense swelling, and I think they wanted to drop but that sticky strapping holding them in place.
I’m with you on child birth cus I think I coped better with that!…today they feel high again that I feel breast above strapping if that makes sense…I can move my arms more:) I had parcials. I’m worried sick about having strapping taken off too as its stuck on like masking tape:( I get mine off on Wednesday. Xx

Ps don’t think we are allowed to use deodorant until strapping off:(, how we suppose to shave this will be embarrassing lol. Xx

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 feeling loads better today as iv taken Hayley’s advise and taken my Macom bra off think I was to strapped in, had an ice pack on my boobies and the swelling went down, iv been able to do my makeup and a little bit of cleaning:), my mom came over and washed my hair:) and cooked for me and my son as partner had to work.
So not to bad as of yet had pain killers at 8am then at 5pm trying to stretch it out and feeling a lot less bloated…keep finding myself looking down at my new boobies I carnt believe iv actually done it after all this time:)..until later when I’ll be crying again lol. Xx

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:(

I’m 10 days post Op and put on 6lb and I no that’s not all weight of implants, i don’t feel bloated anymore just fat now lol, I was hoping I could do static exercises as a lot of people I no did after two weeks but my nurse told me 4weeks and then I can walk on treadmill. Xx

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
