"Spontaneous" bloating



Recommended Posts

Hi...I'm coming up on 8 weeks since surgery and the day before yesterday I looked at my stomach and thought, "huh, that looks bloated"...weighed myself yesterday morning and went up by almost a pound....bloated feeling continues today, but the scale has returned most of that pound ...I had BM yesterday and this morning, so I wouldn't think that is it...is it possible (likely?) that it is premenstrual? trying to figure out how many days into my cycle I am, but not really sure what is happening in that department...last one started early but was abnormally long (like 10 or 11 days)

Thoughts?

Allot of women on here including my self had a long period after surgery (10 days). Its from the hormone changes in the body. As for the bloating could very well be premenstrual. My periods have become more pronounced post op. Bloating weightgain mood swings a week before I get my period. Good luck

Thanks...appreciate the response...just went and walked a "color bomb" 5k in 90 degree heat and found that to be a dandy way to have the scale drop...lol..

down 2 pounds since this morning...still feel bloated, though :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
