Bowel Obstruction

Currently, experiencing my 2nd bowel obstruction. I had my first one around 6 months ago, and it included a trip to the ER, CT scan, NG tube, and days in the hospital. There was more pain this time until, after a couple of hours at the ER, I threw up a lot. After vomiting, I felt better and went home. That night, I had good BMs every hour or so making me think the blockage was cleared. Around 2 days later I'm on a clear liquids diet and am passing gas w/ stool. However, I'm not passing much of the liquids I'm drinking, and I'm wondering whether I'm still obstructed or just not drinking enough to have what I would consider a good BM. Currently, I have no pain to slight tenderness around my scars. Going to the bathroom every 1-3 hours or so I would guess. 

I am drinking hot green tea, water, G2, sleeping a lot, and moving around some. I ordered a heating pad that will be here tomorrow morning. I might move to full liquids with almond milk yogurt to see what happens, but am not sure what to do. Any advice?
