Swelling

My abdomen is swollen and uncomfortable especially after I drink. Is this normal? It's swollen all the time (sticking out a bit like I'm pregnant) and discomfort comes after I drink. Did everyone else have this and what did you do about it? How bad? When did it go away? Did you do something to help it? Thank you in advance.

    After surgery I was quite swollen just over a week. Between trapped gas and general swelling it was uncomfortable. However it didnt hurt to drink anything. I did have to drink pretty slow at first. Now its all good.

    I really didn't notice any swelling for me. I am sorry wish I could be more help. I was gassy for the first few weeks and still get burpy after I eat.
