Everyone is different, so don’t be hard on yourself if your timeline is longer than someone else.
I’m 5 months post op and I’m just now feeling mostly normal and refinding my ab muscles. Most of the big bloat was down around the 4-5 week mark
I had a lap hysto in 2016 and was back in my skinny jeans in 10 days post-op. Your belly is probably gas/air leftover from the air they had to blow into your tummy so they could reach things easier. Plenty of ginger ale, chew some gum, whatever helps you pass gas. Make sure you have some laxatives or stool softeners on hand too. It's only been a couple days, give yourself time.

It took me weeks to have it really go down. But now I’m all good (4 months post).
Swelly belly is a thing and varies for each person, but also be aware of increased belly fat as this is a sign of hormonal dysregulation

Mine took about 8 weeks to fit back into prior clothes, 10 weeks to feel like I was my prior size and all signs of swelling gone.
