The bloating is from the gas they pump you up with and sad to say there are only 2 ways it comes out, front or rear! They should have given you some painkillers for the soreness, I had liquid neurofen for kids and dissolveable paracetemole. It should improve as the days go by just check your incisions for any signs of infection too. Hope that is some help. Good Luck in your journey.

I constantly chewed on those deflatine tablets and walking up and down helps disperse it too. When you are drinking drink very very slowly. Remember too that the air is still trapped from the op and on top of that, your stomach inside is swollen so it may not all be bloating as such. It will settle down babe, just hang on in there!

If you can walk about a bit gravity should help it disperse!

Thanks for advice. Looking forward to the stage where there is no pain and can start eating, this liquid diet is no fun, watching others eat while I have a drink , well I expect u all know what I mean. Need to see that light in the tunnel x
