Very painful gas, bloating and constipation

I’m 10 days post op from my sleeve surgery. I am have extremely painful gas and bloating. I passed all the post op gas but it just keeps coming back. Not sure if it’s the protein shakes or what. But I am miserable!!!! I am taking gas X but it doesn’t help. Does anyone have any suggestions for relief.

Miralax/stool softeners/suppositories and more walking and liquid. And yes whey protein was very constipating for me. The early weeks were miserable due to constipation, gentle belly massage might help too. It may be this way until you get on regular foods, less shakes. When I was able to eat - I found a serving of cashews a godsend for relieving constipation.
