      Walk as much as you possibly can. If you are not walking, try sitting in a rocking chair or glider and rock/glide. When you rock forward, lean your upper body into it, cross your arms across your abdo

    Walk as much as you possibly can. If you are not walking, try sitting in a rocking chair or glider and rock/glide. When you rock forward, lean your upper body into it, cross your arms across your abdomen and press gently towards your back. Also, use a heating pad where you are feeling the gas pains.

    Good luck!

    I was just like you, and I would recommend taking a Phazyme pill. Simethicone is the ingredient that helps with gas and gas-x strips only have 25mg while the Phazyme has 180mg. The gas-x strips didn't help me at all while one Phazyme worked mirages! Try it, it's awesome!

    I had the worst gas pains ever! I walked a ton at the hospital I didn't even pass any gas until right before I left the hospital (my surgery was a Thursday night and I left Saturday morning) My gas pains didn't actually go away completely until Monday. Walk, walk, walk! I actually noticed that I passed more gas if I was laying on my side
