5 Days Out. How Do I Get Rid Of Extra Gas?

Hi, I am 5 days post op and I keep feeling like I need to burp really bad. Nothing happens, and I am taking the gas x strips too. It really hurts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have one of the magic bags the heat seems to help, it will pass.

    This is going to sound really silly, but if you get on your hands and knees and then lower your upper body, that will help the gas move.

    My rocking chair was a great help to get rid of the gas.
