I started my first day on extra easy yesterday but today as I have been eating extra fruit, veg and salad, I feel really bloated. Has anyone else had this when they first start.

Hi Sue, welcome to the sw! Yes at first I was very bloated as well....I think it will take a while for your body to adjust. I did find that I needed to mix in a couple red days every once in awhile to take the bloating away.

Hey hun, I started on Tuesday and had followed WW previously and I felt so bloated to begin with, but as the days are going on, I feel so much better and thinner lol!! Enjoy xxx

I will definately stick with it, just wondering if there is anything syn free that would help the bloating (food wise). Are fat free activia yoghurts allowed?

 

[suze1310]

Yes they are but there is one of them that has syns can't remember which one! Think it's peach but I would check on the syns section xxx

Yes activia fat free yoghurts are syn free apart from the peach snackpot which is half a syn.

Back to the bloating - you are asking your gut to work properly for the first time in a while. It has to work hard to process all the fibre that comes with a healthy diet so it is bound to come as a shock to the system. It will pass and drinking lots of water will help, as can peppermint tea and the activia yoghurts.

Thanks for all your comments and help.

I just started 3 days ago. Where other people get bloated, I just "toot". Since starting SW 3 days ago, there has been more "tooting" than usual. I think that's to be expected when you suddenly eat more veggies, but I sure hope the frequency slows. Also, the pipes are being cleared more regularly, if you know what I mean
