Bloating and swelling??

I’m so bloated and swollen after my operation, has anyone got any tips to reduce this? I’ve tried peppermint tea and I’ve been watching what I eat as I know I’m also extremely constipated. This is causing so much pain and added pressure to my incisions and overall lower stomach pain. Please help xx

I tried gripe water after my laps and laxido to help with constipation. It’s a horrible feeling. Hope you feel better soon x

I ate prunes and drunk prune juice - really helped moved things along. Walking around a little bit also helps get rid of trapped gas I found. X

Oh this is not a pleasant feeling, I took pacifiers from the pharmacy and really helped but took a lot time on the loo to go TBH. Hope this helps x
