Painkillers

Hey girls, I only had my op on friday and I am so bloated, I look pregnant. Is it to early to change my meds to paracetomal and ibuprofen? Everyone says day 3 and 4 is the worst though so shall I stick out with the co-drdramol? any advice will be much appreciated xx

They only gave me paracetamol and ibuprofen.. no cocodamol, if I had it id def be taking it hun and to be honest my tummy is also bloated and achey so not sure if para makes all that much difference to it xx

It must be the painkillers they gave us in the op then that make us bloated? I think i will stick them out a bit longer then. Thanx x

I didn’t take the painkillers they gave me. I took paracetomol etc but I’m rubbish with painkillers normally. My tummy still stayed bloated. I’m 12 weeks post op and using that excuse for my flabby tummy lol 🙂 I think people stop taking them if they make them sick, but if its just bloating ride it out and the bloating will go xxx

i had it to almost 2wks po and almost gone now xxx

I was bloated till about 2 weeks but feel like its near enough back to normal now (at 2 1/2 week) I preferred to ride the bloating out as I felt I needed the painkillers, if you feel u would be alright with just para then go for that. I deffo needed the ones they gave me though lol, xx

I also had my op on Friday and so bloated, rocking the pregnant look :/ I’m on codeine and paracetamol, I think it’s probs the general anesthetic and morphine they give u when in hospital that is making us bloated, keep telling myself it will all be worth it 🙂 hope your both feeling ok the bloating aside xxx

Thanx girls. I think I will have to rock the pregnant look too. Its so annoying cos u can’t tell what ur boobs will actually look like until the belly goes down. I tried eating lots of apples too which I read might help. Nothing yet.xx
