4th day post op...GAS PAINNNNNNNNNN

Any ideas on what I can do to relieve this? The dr's told me to walk which I have been but I am now in so much pain I am buckled over.  I cannot fart or burp.  They also said suppositories would help but not much.

gas x strips. they were a life saver for me......put about 3 on the tongue at once and see if that doesnt help....and keep walking and walking and walking

Hey, we had surgery on the same day. I too have been suffering with gas pains, but finally today it has been releasing. Meaning I can toot.
I have been trying to move around a lot and drinking water constantly. That may have been helping. It was painful though and I'm glad I'm finally getting some relief. Good luck to you.

Thanks.  I just sent someone to look for gas x strps and prilosec for me.  I took a suppository and phazyme in the middle of the night and got zilch releaf.  I am in so much pain it is almost unbarable.

Just got my stuff and let me tell you the gas x strips is cinnamon and makes me wanna eat the whole box lol. 

but are they working for you???? they are good arent they. since you havent had much flavor lately all sorts of things will taste different

Well not sure yet.  I had 4 strips, tooted once, and passed out.  Trying to get a cup of broth down and my vitamins.  I need to find a pill crusher for the rest of my pills instead of trying to shove them in my little pouch.  Seems like EVERYTHING bu****er gives me gas.  Soon as I swallow fluids my tummy starts the thundering.  My calcium losenges are also cinnamon which is a plus.  It makes up for the tart and bitternes of the multi-vitamin.

Hey Jennteel,

Nothing to add that's helpful but saw you are from Archie and just wanted to say 'Hi".  My grandfather had a farm in Archie and I used to spend a bit of time there when I was a kid.

Well just wanted to say thanks!  The gas-x strips are amazing.  I tried the pills but they didn't work.  The strips work instantly.  I feel 200% better now.  I am feeling the pain of the procedure but no gas pains.  I even got out and ran errands today.  Craving and wanting to eat real food sooooooooo bad though.
