Welcome, gal! Sorry you're having such a tough time right now. A couple of thoughts - building on what the others said - they had good advice.
Try Heather's Acacia fiber supplement. It's much less likely to cause gas and other problems - you said you tried to go back on yours but couldn't - I'm guessing that's why. A good fiber supplement will "anchor" you to help you get stabilized.
Secondly, I agree with the NO peppermint tea. Chamomile, fennel or even ginger is great. I like ginger - just slice a piece the size of a quarter and put it in a cup of hot tea. It also helps with nausea and really settles my stomach.
Post surgery is traumatic on your system and it may take time to feel better no matter what you do. In the meantime, be gentle on your tummy and do the best you can.
Lots of soluble fiber and the less acidic fruits and veggies - remember cooking, mashing, pureeing are all good options for you right now.
Take care!
