My surgery was last Monday. I was released from the hospital Thurs afternoon.
I am having SEVERE gas pains still. I am currently using Miralax to try and help relieve it. OMG, how long will it last?
Yesterday I threw up after eating my second meal at home. Some sf red jello. I have no clue what caused it but was fine after eating cottage cheese and then this morning, sf applesauce.

Anyone else here have severe gas problems right after surgery?

 I had severe gas pains for about a week, finally I had someone get me some Gas-X extra strength chewables & within hours noticed a difference. Hope you get to feeling better!

The miralax can actually cause gas if you aren't constipated. Try Gas-x strips. They work pretty well.  Gas is pretty common right after surgery.
