Post hernia repair pain

I had 2 hernias repaired last tuesday. The doctor initially was doing laparoscopy looking for endometriosis, but my doctor only found 2 hernias and called a surgeon in to repair them. I don't know what kind of hernias they were, nor did I get alot of instructions from my doctor. I have a follow up appt with him tomorrow. I'm just wondering from people's experiences...should i still be in pretty bad pain? I ran out of my 7.5 lortabs last night and today has been horrible. I have toradol to take but it doesn't help much. I have gone through 40 of these lortabs already. Is that odd? I feel like it's alot but I have been in significant pain. I don't want to get treated like a druggy tomorrow if I ask for a re-fill. Also, when did you all go back to work? I tried yesterday and I didn't do great. It's a family owned business, so it's not a huge deal as to when i go back. Thanks for any advice! I'm starting to feel a little hopeless.
