I had my surgery near the end of January and I've been feeling fine lately. However, the last couple days my abs are really sore especially near my surgical incision. It hasn't hurt there in well over a month and now of the sudden I'm sore as heck.
Do you think I just started returning to activity too soon? I was more active before it started hurting but it doesn't feel like normal strain.

Everybody has a different idea of what "active" means. Were you doing sit-ups? Olympic weight lifting? (just kidding). In any case, I'd suggest you back off a bit and see what happens. Your belly has been altered, and "normal" anything is apt to feel different. OTOH, if it escalates or gets severe that's a different story.
I agree with Scott. It is sort of difficult to compare anything to how things felt before surgery. Base your level of alarm on the severity of the pain and whether it gets better or worse. Plus, if there are other associated symptoms it is more reason for concern.
