Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for query.
It is hard to say what it is but it could be complication of surgical procedure, hepatiits,pneumonia or some other inflammatory intraabdominal process such as pancreatits.. you need to do abdominal ultrasounds and basic blood tests first. Also, you must eat easier food,avoid alcohol and smoking till right diagnosis is established. Wish you good health.
