3 1/2 weeks post op
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all!
I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and I'm still get very bloated and gassy after meals, it does not happen all the time but most of the time, still have abdominal cramps , it feels like I'm going to have diarrhea ( my main problem/ symptom before surgery) but I don't , this morning all I eat was oatmeal and 15 minutes later it starts 😩, does it get better? Please tell me it does lol
it's not fun !!! I'm eating a completely low fat diet, gluten free and lactose free , super clean diet, is there anything else that I can do?
Thank you!!

I guess it is just time that's needed for everything inside tonaettle down properly. I am just a few days on from you post surgery - it will be four weeks on Friday. I generally still have some bloating. I went out to a barbecue last night. I had one sausage and one burger and I bloated up so badly and was in so much discomfort that I had to leave early and come home for painkillers and bed. No more barbecue food for me! I think for both of us it is probably still early days as far as full recovery goes. On the whole I feel I am doing really well though and am so glad I had surgery. My top incision still feels a bit sore, and there feels like one little sharp bit sticking out, and I wish the scan in my belly button incision would just come off now as that's really sharp and digs in when I move!
Hope you start improving soon x

Hi Lynne!
I really hope this is happening bc it's still early days , yesterday I had cramps and diarrhea again( it also happened on week one) , and I did not eat anything fat or different than my low fat diet , my top incision always bothered me, it's still a little sore and my belly bottom incision still have the surgical tape, I really hope things get better soon for both of us🙏

Hi .. how are you doing after surgery?
My hida scan showed 0% ejection fraction in 2011, but still haven't removed my gall bladder as i also have gastritis. I had diarrhea for 6 months and then finally bile agent tablet helped with fixing diarrhea, however i still have bloating and burping issues. Not removed my gall bladder yet, but i have gone through worst scenarios like dizziness,light headness, bloating. I'm leaning towards removing my gall bladder , but like to hear how well folks do after surgery.
