Post op tip for getting rid of gas

From my education RN: put lemon juice in your beverage. The lemon juice has properties which help the body absorb the gas bubble more quickly. She said that she had known this for years in GYN surgery. I am giving it a try!

I tried this and so far don't see any difference - has anyone else tried it with success? I've had horrible gas pain since I got sleeved on Monday, in fact I think all of the pain at this point is from gas. The only other time I've had general anesthesia was several years ago I had my gallbladder out and that was fine. So I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do.

I'm walking around the house a lot and doing everything else the surgeon said to do. It is getting slightly better, so even if it's VERY slow going I guess as long as it can't hurt me I should be ok. Will anyone share their experiences with this?

Thanks in advance :-)
