I'm also two days post op. I've found that taking extra strength Tylenol instead of the prescribed pain relievers keeps me from doing too much too soon, helps everything flow more easily (gas, BMs) and more quickly, and leads to an overall easier recovery. I don't think I've felt the stitches so much. I more feel an overall soreness across my middle. Try resting, drinking your fluids, and laying/sitting down with no less than 8 pillows all positioned to support the right places :)
Good Luck,
