Bloating?

After surgery I felt amazing I haven't felt like my stomach sticks out or anything but I don't know why but the last couple days I feel like I'm still 259lbs (im at 228 now) I was also starting to notice how my belly was lying flat but now ugh I'm just feeling upset and feel like I'm still big. Also as I'm writing this I realize my period is due sometime before the end of the month. Could it be that? I don't know I'm just feeling down right now.

Also the scaled hasn't moved up so I know i haven't gain weight I'm just really bloated??

    Pre period bloating could be a culprit definitely. I also find my belly looks more distended when I am constipated, maybe that could he adding to the bloat?

    I haven't been constipated I went today. It's just an awful feeling like a roller coaster because I was on cloud 9 with my new found flatness of belly haha. And now I'm dirt. Ugh is this the emotional part of the journey. I'm only 4 weeks out!

    Hey,

    Did this go on it's own for you?

    I am 4 weeks out and now feeling exactly the same as you (I'm also on) but I feel like I did before I lost any weight

    If I recall it did go away. I wasn't constipated. I guess I was just bloated because now I just feel great again (I'm 4 months post op now)

    Ah yes, I suppose it was quite a while ago :)

    How are you getting on now? How much have you lost so far?

    About 55lbs. I was at 58lbs lost but I'm gaining muscle. How's your journey?

    Amazing!! Well done.

    I've lost 28 lbs since surgery, though 42 lbs since beginning of January.

    I really don't see much of a difference yet, I have only gone down 1 size of trousers.

    How often do you change trouser size?
