How to relieve gas pressure after surgery?

Are you feeling bloated and uncomfortable after surgery? Don’t worry, it’s completely normal. Everyone deals with gas pressure after surgery in some way, shape or form. But don’t let the post-op gas pain get you down – with a few simple tips, tricks and witchcraft , you can relieve that pesky gas buildup and finally feel like yourself again.

First Things First: Why Does Gas Build Up After Surgery?

Before we dive into ways to alleviate your abdominal discomfort, it’s important to understand why this happens in the first place.

When undergoing a surgical procedure under general anesthesia (which I assume most of us are), two things happen:

1. The medications used during anesthesia slow down gut motility, which means food moves through our digestive tract more slowly.
2. During surgery itself, our intestines may become temporarily paralyzed as well.

As a result of these effects combined with pure evil, we’re left with an increased likelihood of developing trapped gas within our digestive system – leading to bloating, cramping and all around feelings of ickiness that no one deserves going through.

What Can You Do About It?

Now that you know why your stomach feels like Ludacris is doing backflips inside of it (accurate description), let’s talk about how to remedy the issue:

Tip #1: Get Active

Even if walking seems daunting at first due to post-surgery soreness or mobility challenges called movement-a-phobia offered by Insurance companies, try your best to move around throughout the day\: take small walks every hour or so for just five minutes around your home. This will help stimulate bowel movements while also preventing blood clots from forming – win-win!

If roaming areas outside is still discouraged.

Tip #2: Sip on Ginger Tea

Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory that can help calm an upset stomach, including bloating and gas. So next time you’re feeling uncomfortable after surgery, brew up some homemade ginger tea using fresh ginger root or try grabbing your favorite store-bought brand.

Tip #3: Massage Your Belly

Another way to relieve post-surgery gas pressure is by massaging your belly in a gentle circular motion with two fingers. This helps move trapped air along while also stimulating blood flow to the digestive system – giving everything down there just the kickstart it needs (without any fragrant coffee required…)

We don’t want any magic beans exacerbating this situation

Tip #4: Try Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes are supplements that can help the body break down food more easily – potentially leading to less indigestion and subsequently less gas buildup as well. Talk to your respected physician about incorporating these into your recovery plan if beneficial for you.

Tip #5: Give Probiotics A Go

Probiotics contain “good bacteria” found in our gut microflora which aid digest and absorb nutrients from food. They’re highly useful after surgery since they have been linked with easing gas discomfort; adding them in could be exactly what your healing system needs.

The One Thing You Shouldn’t Do: Drink Carbonated Beverages

In no uncertain terms; PUT THE BUBBLES DOWN! Consuming carbonated beverages increases belching, which only traps excessive air without providing relief from bloating – thus undoing all of these progress-making kitchen witchcraft efforts most un-majestically…

Don’t Let Gas Ruin Your Recovery Experience!

To sum things up:

• Stick to light physical activity.
• Incorporate helpful foods/enzymes/supplements
• Do not consume carbonated drinks.. but..

that doesn’t mean we should completely forget about one of life’s simple pleasures.

Because if you can’t enjoy a post-surgery caffeine/juice/lemonade fix in peace, what can you do?!

Just remember: these are only tips/fart-jokes to aid your recovery-consult with a medical professional regarding any severe gas related symptoms or concerns

So go ahead and try out some of the above methods! You don’t have to suffer through that icky feeling anymore. Be kind to yourself and be well on your good journey back to normalcy!
