Hi,
I would not take any "water pills" they can dehydrate you and since you are post op you will not be able to drink enough water to counter act the pills. I would say to give it time, you are probably retaining water because of the IV fluids and the anesthesia. Keep drinking water and your body will correct itself. Also, the simethicone is also called mylicon, should be in any pharmacy, just ask.
