Why am I so bloated?
I'm 23yrs old, and I was in a motorcycle accident about 2yrs ago. I was flown to a big hospital with broken clavicle, (all ribs), back, and scapula along with a brain bleed and lacerated liver, inflamed pancreas, kidneys, and spleen. My lungs collapsed also. I had to live in rehab for a month to learn to walk again with rods in my back and had to remain in rehab after I went home for about 9 mos. my weight was 98lbs before the accident I'm supposed to be small and petite. Finally after taking all the med and believe me there was a lot I gained a lot of weight now I weigh about 140lbs. I diet, exercise, and drink nothing but water. I have lost a little bit of weight but I have a huge belly on me like I'm really bloated 24/7.... The only time I feel good naked is in the morning but as soon as I start moving around my belly seems to return to being bloated. I am getting married in a couple of months so I really am trying to loose the belly. Also we are trying to conceive so I stopped taking my bc pills, and started taking prenatals. I just can seem to understand what I'm doing wrong the the weight is not coming off and belly not going down. I always had a tiny bit of a belly but now its huge...HELP!!!!!!!
I do Pilates everyday at the gym with cardio, and I'm on a low calorie diet. I eat a salad everyday and baked chicken for dinner pretty much every night with a veg. I have not talked to my doctor considering I do not have any health insurance until I marry. I have no restrictions even with rods in my back, I do what I feel I can handle. I only have back aches once in a while where I just take tylenol. I had the bloating problem for yrs now. Just it got a lot worse after the accident. Like I said I always had a little pooch but now its just CRAZY..... I'm not fat I know that just the belly

Have you talked to your doctor regarding the bloating? In someone who has had the injuries you have, I would be hesitant to advise you too much for fear that there may be a medical issue causing this.
That said, what type of exercise do you do? And what type of diet are you on?
