5 days post-op gas pain?

[belluhfit 5]

Hello friends! I am 5 days post op from my vsg surgery and for the most part I'm feeling pretty good. I'm rarely hungry and do my best to get fluids in through sugar free drinks, popsicles and broths. But I've been struggling with gas pains. It happens throughout the day and the only way to relieve is it to try and burp. I was wondering how long this will last? Every day has gotten better but it's still getting to be annoying and uncomfortable.

Accompanying the gas pain, I have a brief minute-long moment where the air gets stuck and I feel extremely nauseous. My mouth fills with saliva as if I'm going to throw up and then never actually do. This has happened once every morning and I'm wondering if this has happened to any of you and if so how long until it went away?

Sorry if this message is a little tmi btw... and thank you to those who are taking the time to read and possibly respond

Since belching helps, the gas-x strips should help too. Glad you are otherwise feeling better!

I sip peppermint tea, sometimes it works better than the gas x. When it's too much gas I do both and walk, walk, walk! It sounds silly but walking helps move the gas! Good luck!
