@Carol94303: Each person's body copes up differently after the surgery. It's good that you are walking around. Try walking 2-3 minutes every half hour. If you have pain in the stomach area or feel uneasy getting up and lying down, try walking 2-3 minutes every 1 hour. Do not give up on walking. Don't overdo too.

I found sitting up made be feel less bloated and a little comfortable (than lying), but painful at the same time. I had severe vomiting for 2 consecutive days after the surgery was done.

I pray to God that he gives you lots and lots of strength :).

Congrats! Your on your way. The gas will pass

Great advice. The nurses kept asking if I was passing the gas, but I never did. I was constantly burping, which they thought was odd, but it worked, lol.
