Pretty sure its gas pain. Started yesterday. I had potatoe soup and chicken and dumplings with broth yesterday along with welches 100% grape juice. Idk what gave me the gas but its persisted until today. It really hurts and I don't know how I can get it to pass. I have layer on both sides, actually slept on my left side last night. Laid on my back. I can hear and feel it moving and bubbling when I do this but just will not come out. I have also tried walking to no avail. Picked up gas x chewables today and had one with no effect. Going to take another now.

Try the Gas-X meltaway strips. You put them on your tongue (2-4 strips) and they melt. Comes in mint or cinnamon. Works way better for my hubby than the chewables. A heating pad on your tummy can also help.

Ill try those tips thank you. Its still going on and I can't believe it....

You can also try a knees to chest position and massaging your abdomen gently. Walking will help too. Good luck, gas pains are horrible, I understand.

Don't be discouraged. The gas should decrease as you get further from surgery. While things are swollen and healing it is harder to release gas.

Day 3 and still have some gas...this morning I was stupid and tried to burp my bag while laying down on my makeshift Med ( sleeping on living room floor till lapro incisions heal) and I had a small leak... my gf was sleeping but I still found it extremely embarrassing. I'm picking up melt away strips of gas x today to try

OUCH... can't say how sorry I am you have this! Gas can be sooo painful! I find hot tea helps move things along, it helps soften stuff up and takes away some bloating..
Good luck!
