Is this normal?

I had surgery on same day as you and went home next day. I had little to no pain gas was constant I think that was worst part. Then I got mild pneumonia which did not help. I have abdominal swelling as well feels slightly firm. My biggest problem is the emotional side not being able to chew food. I thought I was prepared but not even close. And trying to get my Protein and fluids in. It feels like a job.
