Gas and incisions

I am 5 days post op and I still have mad gas. I expel gas and I get it right back within a few minutes. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the gas? I find it easier to drink the liquids without the gas, but those times are slim to none right now. I have been forcing my proteins down and its alright except i cannot drink them cold. Cold stuff seems to make me more gassy and uncomfortable.

I also want to know if anyone is putting anything on their incisions to rid the scars. I still have stitches and i want to put some neosporin or maderma on it to make the scars go away faster.
