Two weeks post OP bloating

Post Op

Hey everyone! My healing has gone really well, I have had virtually no issues up until the last 24 hours…the night prior I had a muscle milk protein shake which I think is what triggered it. And that night center abdominal pain and pretty bad bloating happened about 30 mins after consuming.

So I went to bed thinking “I’ll feel better in the morning” then the whole next day I felt the same, could barely eat anything and it hurt to take a deep breath. I’m feeling much better today, but I can tell my systems still sensitive. Long story short I will not be touching any muscle milk or any protein powders for a while.

Has anyone had the extreme bloating and pain two weeks like this? I don’t want to be scared of food again, and I have been consuming fats so far just fine.
