Try going out for a short walk. It helped with me.

I'm sorry that you are uncomfortable...walk, walk, walk...that is the "magic pill" in this case. While it might be hard to believe, this will be in your rear view mirror before you know it

I agree with the above. Walking helps gas pains better than anything. The pain and discomfort will pass!!

I also had surgery on Tuesday, so I'm right there with you! Make sure that you are walking like everyone says... I actually feel good when I'm moving and hurt more when I've been sitting too long.

Also don't let your pain meds wear off yet. I accidentally did that yesterday and boy did I know it!!! If they said to take it every four hours, take it every 4 hours. Plus gasX is helpful too :-)

You can also try alternating ice and heat. I forget which does what, but they both do good things to help with healing and pain.

Good luck!!!

Even when you aren't walking, doing something like rocking in a rocking chair can help a lot. Any kind of movement is good.

I was also Tuesday!! I find that I have to walk as im sipping! I can tell that crazy gas is getting better!
