Dear user, welcome to healthcare magic.
What you have gone through was not easy at all. This is a major surgery. The symptoms you describe and much more may happen after such surgery, depending on the extent of the surgical procedure, and the underlying pathology. It is very important to know the histopathological diagnosis of the removed parts.
I suggest you visit your surgeon to check that there is nothing serious and if he reassures you, you may have any symptomatic treatment till your body heals. It may take at least three months till you back to normal. I wish you speedy recovery.
I hope these words were useful to you.
Good luck.
