“You’ll bloat too, YOU’LL BLOAT TOO.”

Last night I slept with lean stomach (I do workouts while fasting these days) but then I woke up in the morning like a pregnant woman. I started my period in years and this is the first time I got bloated. It feels like a crap.

I knew I was bloated
it doesn't feel soft
it's hard and you have constant pain and wanting to fart but can't
that feeling is sooo annoying

belly fat is more soft you can grab it with your hands and it won't hurt or you have a pinched feeling

I’m pregnant and also bloated last for 3 days it hurts so bad, very painful to moved the worst pain is like having a continuing contractions that never stop. I get better after bowel movement and take pain relief and little burp.

i just found out that




*im fat •_•*

What if you don’t wake up flat and your always bloated but your doctor tells you it’s bloat that leads to thinking it’s fat because your bloat never goes away you try a body shaper and that doesn’t work it just looks the same so your thinking again it’s bloating... is this happening to anyone else?

The optimal manner to eliminate bloating or gas pain quickly will be to take on an empty stomach 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil.

Is it normal if you wake up and your bloated in you upper stomach? But your period starts nowhere near today
