Extreme Bloat

[Loneil 25]

Post op 3 days now on full liquid diet. Starting last night my stomach is in full bloat! I have done the gas x and milk of magnesia and it helped at first then my stomach bloats back up. I'm walking alot too. I am doing my dirt to the T. I know I an one of those whiny people but it sux feeling pregnant all the time! Just wanted to see if this is/ has happened to anyone and any advice? Thanks!

It is just part of the process. I find that walking around and trying to "rub" some of the air helps

Hang in there it does get better. I am 5 days post op and it is better, but still there. A heating pad feels good too. Good luck!

Me too!! I had surgery Friday morning & now I'm bloated up like a puffer fish. Congrats to you on your surgery. I just keep thinking positive like just think how much weight we are going to lose.

I actually found putting an ice pack (on top of a towel) helped me when the bloating got really bad. Alternated heat and ice. Glad u r walking. The pain Meds do not help the bloating, for me they were a big part of the problem. My bloating got better around day eight
