Sorry to hear of that painful bloating. After 6 weeks it should be checked by a doctor, if possible.
It may be the result of the mixture of microbes, that live in your gut, being unable to cope well with your diet. If you have lately changed your diet, taken antibiotics or had a gut infection, this may have caused the problem.
Concentrate on eating your 5 serves of vegetables a day, and drinking plenty of water. The vegetables help build up the good microbes you need in your gut, and there is less room for the nasty ones. If you have been eating more legumes than usual (lentils and beans) cut back and introduce them again slowly, so the microbes that help digest them can build up to deal with them.
I hope it sorts itself out soon.
I’ve been having a lot of trapped gas. In my case I’ve cut back on my fruit consumption and that has helped a lot. I think a lot of the fructose makes into my gut and causes the gas. I still eat a lot of fruit but I’m more mindful of it and try to spread it out more. There seems to be a tipping point where the gas just gets to be too much.
I was sick a couple months ago and stopped working out because I couldn’t breath well enough. That seems to have changed how my gut was working. Now I’m starting to exercise again, so hopefully that will also help.
Oh no, I was hoping it was something much less frightening. But I am very glad they have operated. You have a whole flood of good wishes heading your way: for a good recovery, and that this might be the end of it.
I’m keen to hear how you are going.
PS I had to have half a lung removed, a year ago, because of a little cancer (all seems to be well now). I was so glad I was 30kg lighter, thanks to 5:2. I bet your 3 stone gone has made the operation much better for you (and easier for the hospital), so cheers for that.
