Glad we have a bloating thread! And thanks for the tea suggestion. I have such a hard time with it and how about not having a uterus but looking pregnant! LOL! When people ask me when I am due I say oh I had my hysterectomy last october. I delivered a angry uterus!

Yup, nice not to know the bloating thing is not alone, thought I would be done with the bloating post hyster but NOPE. I wish I knew if it was like constipation or something. The one gastro doc I tried thought it was but he was really bad doctor. I know with all the surgeries most of us have had there is the whole "swelly belly" they talk about on Hyster sisters. Do you think think its surgery/inflammation/endo acting up/ related for most of us?

I lost a bunch of weight last year but I'm wearing the same size because It hurts to wear anything tight on my bloated belly.

Oh NO girls no need to look like a slob let me tell you some fashion tricks to conceal the belly. Its fall so your options are better now that the weather is getting colder. First the shirt dress is amazing and I own a ton of these. shop.nordstrom.com/S/3091026?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_pla=dresses:women:dress&cm_ite=lauren_by_ralph_lauren_belted_cotton_shirtdress_(plus):295565&cm_ven=Froogle&GANTrackingID=nord_546138589
It hides almost everything and is so comfy. You can wear it with boots or stiletoes.

If you want a casual look try the Gaps strech jeans www.gap.com/products/womens-jeans.jsp paired with a cute bib top or a loose shirt. Its all a about layers this year girls so throw that little tank under a shirt that sucks it all in and add to it. www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=8793&vid=1&pid=760856
Boots or flats and your outfit is comfy, conceals and you do not look like a slob.

You can get most of this at any store if you like designer Saks has the look and Target carries it all too. So what ever budget you are you can look cute and hide the belly.

If you are going out for the night and want a dress here is a great pick let the focus go to your chest instead of your belly. www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&storeId=301&langId=-1&productId=502299692&linkshare=null/affiliate
The ruffles are flirty and no one will be looking at your belly.

I am all about the sweater dress with leggings and if you get the right pair of leggings it gonna slim your belly too. I am def not a skinny tall Gwenth Paltrow and it works. Another option cut off your control top pany hose and use the top like you would use spanx. Wear it under pants, dresses whatever it sucks in and no one will know.

I have struggled with my body even before endo tricks to fashion are #1 Love what you are wearing. #2 Dare to be different #3 Show off the best parts of your body and what you like the most:)

One more thing about being bloated and fashion. If you are looking for a nice shopping experience when you are bloated shop for shoes, accesories or handbags. They always fit and guess what sometimes the outfit isnt what matters its the shoes that take over the look. Shop with confidence ladies no matter what size you are you are all Beautiful:)

I would love to personal shop for new moms or people that are recovering from a surgery. Or bloated endo girls;) I feel like all the fluctuation I have with my body I could dress anyone. One day Im tiny and the next I look pregnant.

;D how about a fat bloated endo mom? LOL I hear you guys on the "how to dress comfortable but stylish". I'm plus size and its frustrating. I scored a great find at a used clothing store for my interviews at the hospital (trying to get a job as a CNA) but it was really tight in the belly after the end of the day. I especially dont' like the "look like i'm preggo" style. What is appropriate for bloated days for a job interview? obviously walking in with my scrubs on (cause they are roomY) isn't going to cut it.
