3 days post op - gas x?

So im 3 days post op and the gas is terrible.. has anyone used gas x to help or any suggestions?

I am 5 days post op - my doc actually had me buy Gas X before I even had surgery. It has been a life saver. 

Mylecon drops too - like for babies. That's what they gave me in the hospital.

Wow! I need to update my info!

Omg i wish they would have told me this.. i have the chewables i got a long time ago, im about to take one. Hope it helps.

Gas x will help some but the thing that helps the most is walking.

I found a warm heating pad helped tremendously. Put it where the gas hurts. For me that was my left shoulder/ back

I found also that if someone rubs/pats your back, just like you would a baby, it helps to move the gas to a place it can actually escape, whether it be Up or Down.

If you have noone to do this for you, GENTLY kneading/rubbing your own stomach can help to move the gas as well. Just start where the pain is. If it's low try keeping it going in that direction. Same if it feels higher, try to "push/rub" in a direction that brings it up.

I'm a 3 days post op and I've taken Gas X it's better than the almax that I was prescribed, for gas anyway.  Good luck on your journey!

Pretend you are swimming with your arms. Sometimes helps relieve the trapped gas
