Hi all I’m 3dpo today feeling very bloated today haven’t ‘been’ since early Monday morning going to try some senakot today see if that helps I’ve reduced the amount of co-codamol to 1 tablet now instead of 2 as I was feeling sickly
Managing to lift my arms a little today too but don’t want to push myself too much x
Hey Jackie, if you’re taking cocodamol, it can clog you up and stop you going. Maybe try green tea/ peppermint, I think this is meant to be good if your stomach is hurting and can’t go. Or hot boiled water. Hope your recovery goes well ???? xx
I had the same problem 3 days po. An decided to go for ibupufen an i went lol. Im 1 week po now. If your not in to much pain opt for that.
Dwf works xx
I’m exactly the same. 3days since op. Stomach is huge!! How are you feeling in general? What ccl did you go for? Xx
Hey Jackie. I was exactly the same, I was little walking Buddha ha. I decided to stop my cocodamol as I hadn’t gone to toilet before my
Op anyway due to nerves I think, andso by day 3 o stopped taking them and just used paracetamol and ibuprofen. I drank peppermint tea to help, and I massaged my belly which sounds so ridiculous haha. But I was so uncomfortable it helped with the pain.
Try a constipation reliever and see if that helps.
After I stopped taking my cocodamol I managed to go to toilet. I was bloated for over a week after, only now I’d say it’s really gone down.
And unfortunately for me my partner was working from the beginning of my recovery so he meal prepped a lot of easy things for me to be able to make, like pastas and stuff which. I was happy to eat cold, or reheat in the microwave and so now I’m just reducing my carb intake for a while as I ate so much of them in the beginning of my recovery haha. Hope all goes well x
Hi ladies xx thanks fir the advice I’m going to try tablets tonight x Alaina I was a 34f and I’ve had 550cc as I’m really wanting a big fake look
And thanks for the advice Courtney and Beckie
I did food prep and that does consist of carby things you don’t realise just think ohhh that’s easy for hubby to cook ha who’s been a godsend to be fair xx can’t believe how much I’ve slept today !!!
I was the same Jackie ! My mum gave me some tablets to help me go to the toilet which helped alot . im 1 week post op and feel less bloated drink plenty of tea that helps too xx
Normal tea charlotte ? A lot of people have said peppermint tea but I’m not keen on it xx kettles is on ! Lol xx
Sorry just seen this chick normal tea helped me a lot just kept drinking it and it works xxx
I’m not keen on them peppermint teas either xx
I reckon normal tea will help cos caffeine stimulates your bowel. Make sure you have a high fibre diet too. I stared eating bran flakes to help as well
Not sure if this is still an issue, but I felt awful..
“Oil of peppermint” tablets from holland and Barrett- 2 after each meal, 100% natural and after 6 days of feeling awful- I was right as rain in about 8 hours.
Hope you’re feeling better, Xx
