5 days post-op - is this normal?

I had a total lap hyst Tuesday. It is Sunday, and I guess I expected to feel better. I did well with the pain - no RX pain med after Thursday, but feel weaker and more listless each day it seems...a little discouraged today...no energy and more abdominal pain than yesterday it seems...any advice?? Thanks a bunch in advance!
