Bloating and dizziness!

I am only 2 days PO but I look 3 months pregnant?! Also is the dizziness due to all the meds? Not feeling great 🙁 anyone else feel like this?? xxx

Don’t worry blaire I had exactly the same day 2 and 3 were my worse it’s normal, but apparently green tea good for bloating, but can take up to few weeks for it to go down I still got bloating I look pregnant it’s horrible! Hope you feel better soon just keep up with the painkillers, it gets easier trust me! Xxxxx

Hi Blaire, the dizziness is defo the painkillers, I end up having like a 2 hour nap everyday because I feel so rough! The tablets make you extremely bloated as well, I look pregnant ha.. Just have plenty of water and green tea, orange juice and prune juice is soo helpful aswell x

Ahh thank you both of you!! It’s just reassuring to hear others feel like this too (I get paranoid haha) I used to drink a lot of green tea! Il try getting back to that 🙂 are you both taking the maximum doses of pain killers? I almost want to try and take less to see if I don’t feel so thick headed and strange?! Xxx

Yeah I am, it seems to affect me more in the afternoon, but I think the pain is easing off now and it just sort of hurts in the middle.. You’re still only a couple of days in, so take it easy and make the most of people soon stuff for you ha

Ok il stick to maximum doseage and just take it easy. Happy healing :)! Xxx

What pain meds are you girls on? I am only taking paracetamol seems to do the trick atm but I am only 2 days in, this strapping is awful, I keep waking up with terrible heartburn as well 🙁 I am bloated too girls! Feel a lot heavier today and a bit sore. Are you girls still wearing your compression stockings? I havnt taken mine off been told to wear them for 2 weeks because of dvt and pe very attractive hahahaa xxx

Hi Blaire, I’m 6 days post op and I still feel bloated, I feel a little better then the last too days cuss I’m not really taking any painkillers so just take them when you need them, if your not in pain I wouldn’t take the painkillers. I’m also drinking loads of green tea and eating fruit which has helped. Xx

For some reason I feel a bit sick today, I dunno if it’s the antibiotics. X

@xgemzx ive been told to wear the socks for 3 days which I did. x
I felt very dizzy, even worse yesterday. but I run out of painkillers and taking 2xparacetamol in the morning and at night. I have 2 days left of antibiotics. they also make u dizzy and bloated 🙂

and ice on ur boobies helps too

Oops I didn’t wear the socks cuss I took them off in the room before I left, I was that out of it on drugs that I didn’t really know what was going on. I’ve had a DVT before so maybe I should of, hopefully I’ll be ok. Xx

I’m on paracetamol and codeine, anti inflammatory and antibiotics which I assumed everyone was on!! My nurse told me to take mine off.. Also my mum is a surgery nurse and she just made me keep them on for an extra day so I hope this is all fine lol! I think not eating as much helps with bloating aswell as the green tea trick, water etc! Ahh polina it’s strapping off day tomorrow though 🙂 excited! What times your appt? Mines at 1! Xxx

Ive just tried to peel at my strapping ouch!! it hurts a lot! 🙁 I am on paracetamol anti-inflammatory and anti-bs got tramadol if need it but have not yet. oh Im well jell can not wait for my strapping to come off although slightly scared as it hurts. xxx

Yeah I’ve got mine off tomorrow at 6pm….can’t wait….sooooo excited!

Yes the strapping is tight Gemma, I wouldn’t take any of it off, least you can see a little of yours, mine are completey wrapped up….there like a present I can’t unwrap lol! Xx

Yeah I’m scared of having my strapping off too! I think it’s gonna hurt so much.. Maximum pain killer doseage before then I think lol!! Oh no A30 are your nipples covered too?! Xxx

It is strange how some ladies have all over strapping, some only have part strapping and some have none at all! I know which option I’d of gone for if given one lol, I do not actually know why I have it, is it to do with swelling? xx

I almost think the strapping is gonna give me cone like boobs?! I saw yours a30 and they are completely strapped lol! Must be abit to do with swelling and also infection.. Picking faults etc xx

Do you not live in Bristol @polina?? My mum is dropping me! I will Deffo let you know how I get on thanks 🙂 xxx

@blaire no, I live in Haywards heath near brighton. my husband is working, so he cannot take me there. but thats ok. in a way im glad its on sat. gives me an extra day to recover 🙂

Wow! I didn’t realise you had to travel so far! Aww you’ll be fine on the train and exactly, it’s an extra day to recover! Let me know how it goes 🙂 xxx

Hey Hun I’m 2 days post op and took 2 funny turns today got strong pains in my stomach went all light headed and dizzy and flushed I had to put cold water on my face! Felt as though I was going to pass out! I’m assuming its the meds xxx

@A30 I responded to your post in your sports bra discussion so have a look! Sorry didn’t realise you posted on here. @emma aww bless you! I had a couple of funny turns yesterday it is the meds and the fact we’ve had an op literally a few days ago! My hips have swollen… Xxx

Ano I think we sometimes don’t realise we have just had surgery our bodies are probly traumatised and we r just acting like nothing has happened!! Hope your ok!! Xxxx

hi blaire.. if you cut out the codine you wont feel dizzy… you can keep the pain at bay with maximum dose of paracetamol and ibuprofen… check with the nurse but thats defo what makes you dizzy x

@emmamh I helt exactly like that on day 4. I got very scared cause I was on my onw. I went straight to bed and was fine after 20 mins. not very nice. but yes, its all down to tablets we take 🙁

@polina I’m just stopping taking the co codimol now I’m out of most of the pain anyway just gunna finish my antibiotics xxxx
