You have to lose weight. Start with green Mediterranean diet and Juicing: organic beet/ginger/carrot 1 glass daily.
It is not uncommon to feel bloated immediately after surgery, especially if you had a laparoscopic procedure. Constipation can also make you feel larger, so be sure you are having a bowel movement every 1-2 days.

If you are out of the immediate recovery phase, you should check with your physician to ensure there is nothing else going on.
