It's pretty common to get bowel irregularities after any kind of abdominal surgery. Any time someone starts pushing and pulling on the intestines the normal peristalsis gets thrown off. Sometimes you get diarrhea, other times constipation. Pain medications can make it worse. Plus the actual incision just flat out makes it hurt.
In addition to the pumpkin or green beans, make sure she's drinking lots of water to help keep everything soft.
