Gas Pains?

Came home yesterday after having surgery Tuesday. Been having horrible gas pains. Last night ( first night home) I was in alot of pain .. crying from them. Swallowing pain Meds with too much water was an another issue. Gas bubble sitting in my chest and then almost got sick from taking in too much at one time. Today started gas x strips which seems to make the gas pains alittle more tolerable. And been sipping on water, powerade zero and clear protein. Seems to help with some dehydration cramps in my arms. Hoping things will get better.. anyone else has gone through this??
