What's the bloated belly all about???

I am 4 days post op and my belly is so bloated! I haven’t been to the toilet since my surgery so can you girls recommend anything to help me along pls lol x

Hi Kelly I was the same. There were a lot of girls in the same situation. It’s the co codimol tablets. Some girls suggested prune juice or laxatives. X. I stopped taking the pain killers cos I wasn’t in much pain. The cramps were worse than my boobs x

Oh I see! Thanks Sarah! To be honest they didn’t help much so I stopped taking them yesterday and went on to ibuprofen. I hope it goes by the time I have my straps taken off x

Drink lots of water and eat lots of fiber rich foods – that should help xxx

Haha i looked about 4 months pregnant actually thought i might be at the rate my stomach was growing post op x

Kelly I am 8days PO and still bloated. The toilet issues were the worst part of the whole thing for me. I can’t recommend prune juice enough and loads of fruit to get you moving again. My bloating is going down a little every day.

Hi Kelly,

Senokot ‘dual relief’!

Xx

Thanks Terri x

I had my nose and boobs done on Fri… And said to my fiancé earlier that I can’t believe that I haven’t been to the toilet since Thurs…! And my belly is huuugggggeee, I even said that maybe it was swollen! Must be the tablets!

@kellynp Had mine done on the 3rd & went to the doctors and got told to take senokot (natural relief) and it worked the next day! you can buy it over the counter x
