Soreness: After laparoscopic gallbladder removal, lap hernia, or open hernia, there will be , of course, some temporary post op pain. This will be easily managed with ice, antiinflammatory meds, and pain meds. No dietary restriction after gallbladder out. Lifting restriction from 1-3 weeks, per your surgeon. After that, you'll have no activity restrictions, but some residual soreness. Good luck.

2-4wks weight rest: Both surgeries are usually done laparoscopically and would rec'd a lifting restriction of no lifting of greater than 20lbs for 2 weeks. As far as dietary restrictions, your surgeon should place you on a progressive diet advancing from liquids to soft foods as tolerated. Your body will usually tell you what foods it will accept or cause trouble.
