How long should internal pain last after surgery?

I am only three weeks out but still have a lot of internal abdominal pain (it comes and goes). I also have a lot of back pain in addition to the nausea, etc. I am on protein shakes and eating small tid bits of real food as tolerated. Overall, I would say I am pretty miserable! I was just wondering how long I can expect to feel so poopy??? I have not really been able to discuss this with my surgeon at Kaiser as he has re-scheduled my follow-up appointment three times now. So your input would be appreciated!
