Who knew one day I would really wish to fart!
TMI probably but I DO wish I could. lol I am 2 days out and I feel like the gas is trapped. I'm walking like I'm supposed to, taking the simethicone the MD prescribed and even trying to move my legs around while I'm resting. I can burp just fine (ouch) but it just won't move through to the bottom!

Walking will help. Rocking can help, too, like in a rocking chair. If you don't have a rocking chair, just sit in any chair and rock back and forth a bit, like you were in a rocking chair.

Thanks for all the advice! I will keep that in mind. Don't need any embarrassing accidents!
Kelly -- I rocked a while and it worked! Thanks for the info.
And just farts, thank goodness. :D
