I have senakot which i have taken two tablets today but can anyone suggest anything else i am soooo uncomfortable my stomach going solid and i’m only 1 day post op. More uncomfortable with this than my actual boobs.
try movicol, it’s really good. it sorted me out but you have to get it from a pharmasist xx
Champion i’ll try that tomorrow. Bloody senakot takes 8-12 hours!
or prune juice or loads of fruit normally works he he!! xx
ooo couldnt deal with prune juice! I tried fresh orange juice and oranges that normally sets me right off but…nothing!
Morrison own make laxatives works in a couple of hours. £1.50 green packet l take 2 if im constipated at all. x
Im suffering really bad too! Been taking movicol and senna and nothing is working, feel horrible! Xx
Drink LOADS of fresh orange juice!! It work on me in week one after my op lol xxx
snap, ive taken 2 senacot and look like an african orphan!
I am like that literally 24/7 (i can go like 2 weeks without going to the loo anyway) so i take Ducolax i think there called, there in a green and silver box, its the ONLY thing i find that works, but make sure you drink at least 2 pnts of water with and after as that reallly helps
xxxx
Thanks ladies will be stocking up tomorrow on everything its just awful! haha alexandraemma thats exactly how i feel!
i took senokot but all my other tablets i took caused constipation so just kinda cancelled them out, dont think i went to the ‘loo’ untill day 10/11 and even then i struggled lol was not nice!! xx
Ahh no. Hope you feel better soon x
Oh god leanne don’t be telling me that!haha think i will only eat fibre filled foods today!x
When does the bloating stop? Dont think i can take much more, my poor tummy!!! Im too scared to even weigh myself now xxx
seppet and littlekate, either of you any more comfortable? have you tried any of the things listed above? black coffee really strong is normally a last resort, and always works for me xxx
I stopped taking the painkillers altogether cos I wasn’t in pain, so make sure ur only taking them if u really need to hun. I stopped taking mine yesterday and feel back to normal already! Nothin worse than constipation and feeling all ‘filled up’ is it
xxx
Iv been taking senokot but doesnt seem to be working!!! Good idea, think i will try a black coffee, just hope it goes soon cos i feel so sick with it, im not even gona be able to fit into my jeans at this rate!!! xxx
ahh bless,it will go i promise, make the coffee really strong – GOOD LUCK!! xx this is the only place we can openly talk about going for a poo,it’s mad
!! xx
Well I think i done myself a little mischief yesterday!had another dose of senakot and by the afternoon nothing was happening and i felt sick and couldnt eat through it so i bought some lactulose at the chemist’s advice and well….. i couldnt get off the toilet ALL night and its still affecting me this morning! Made me sick and everything so think i’m just going to come off everything bar the antibiotics as i don’t think i need the painkillers and i would rather take ibuprofen and have a little pain than no pain but all the bloating!
try dulcolax if not, another good laxative, get it from most supermarkets, stronger than senakot or get the senakot max strength.
Drink plenty of water too
xxx
he im 2 weeks post op and only just got back in my 8 jeans so weird it came from no where i even go fat knees but then disappeared just as quick but hung around for 2 weeks xx
GOOD NEWS….. iv been to the toilet this morning!!!!! HAHAHA
how funny!!! Just hope thats my body goign back to normal now! Still have some bloating but hope it will start to go down now! Iv been in my pj’s for 3 days now, im not gona upset myself by trying to put my jeans on yet, i know thay wont go over my bloated tummy
i heard about all this bloating before my op, but didnt think it was gona be that bad….. errrrr its really bad lol xxx
