6 days post op and I still have gas from surgery.I can feel the gas after I swallow even

How do I get rid of it?

The only cure is time and walking. I had gas pains for about 7 days post-op.

I remember living on GasX and marching in place in the middle of the night to get the gas to move up and out! The GasX was for broths which made me gassier. Movement is the best way - pump your arms up and down while marching. You will burp! You may want to do this in private lest someone think you've lost your mind! Good luck!

I got home yesterday about 7 pm and am exhausted. I had a 35 mile car ride. I didn't sleep well the one night in the hospital. Today I only managed 24 ounces of tea, broth and Water. The minute I start drinking anything the gas pains are unbearable. Water is the worse. My blood sugars are higher than they should be I think, but the endocrinologist said to bring them down gradually so I don't get in a crisis situation. I've had a low level, headache ever since the pre op diet. I'm hoping to do better tomorrow, get some walking in, I know that may help the gas out. My aim is to walk to the mail box. I know I'm whining but can't help it. Plus, I weigh 1.6 lbs more tan I did the day of the surgery.

Try gas x strips for your tongue. These did wonders for my gas.
