Hey there, 3 months post op and really struggling with permanent cramps & burping. This seems to happen every time I have my period, however, my PMS pre surgery was never this bad. I now cramp permanently (24/7) for up to 2.5 weeks (even though my period itself only lasts 3-5 days), i’m bloated and I permanently need to burp as the gas is just extreme. Basically I feel like how I did in my first week after surgery with the gas, walking and burping.
I’m in severe pain and every night I have spasm attacks so my sleep is really bad.
Has anyone else been through this? if so:
1) How did you manage this?
2) How long did it last?
3) why has it happened?

I have already had all my blood tests done, had an ultrasound, been to see my surgeon twice and there is nothing actually wrong with me, he’s referred me to a gynaecologist (because hormones is definitely impacting this and I have high insulin resistance which hasn’t reduced) and gastroenterologist to rule out any colon inflammation or infections. But at this stage he thinks it’s severe IBS with hormone changes.
The thing is – I’M IN TOO MUCH PAIN 24/7.

I feel like I’m exactly the same! Today is day 4, and the exhaustion is through the roof! I haven’t left the house yet but been done some laps around my house! Hopefully all this starts to shift soon.

im averaging around 1.5- 2 litres of Fluid a day, and this morning I decided to try some jelly which is nice to have a different texture rather than just clear liquid.

Hello April buddies!! Hope you are all having a great Monday! Today is my 45th birthday and it’s also going to be my last birthday I will spend overweight and unhealthy !! Whoo hoo!
