RNY 10 days ago, stomach still bloated.

I had my surgery 10 days ago. I feel great except my stomach is swollen and it hurts to wear jeans. When will this go away? I feel like I look 5  months pregnant. 

It takes a while - you have been pumped full of gas and fluids, so it goes away slowly.  Drink fluids as much as you can, it will help flush things out.  I did not wear jeans for several weeks - I wore loose dresses instead.

Oh, and someone here recommended an abdominal binder - it helped SO much!  You can find them at any drugstore.  I wore mine for several weeks, until one day I just did not need it anymore.

what are you eating? Carbs will make you bloat...

No carbs. All I'm having is premier protein shakes, water and herbal tea. 

Thank you for the binder suggestion.  I bought one today and it feels good.

Have you had a BM? 

Yes. I've taken miralax everyday and had a bm everyday. 

I had mine 10 days ago now and all is gone (and more, I measured myself and compared to the night before surgery my waist is down 4 inches!)

Are you drinking lots?  Are you sore at all minus the jeans?  I know we all heal differently, but I have no pain now, even when my family doctor poked and prodded a bit.
