I agree with the others. It was insensitive of your husband to bring his parents home, unless the purpose was for them to wait on you. In which case he should be open to admitting his miscalculation.
They may want you to wait on them, but someone recovering from surgery doesn't have to comply with their wishes. Can you get a doctor's note? Can you head off to bed and tell them you just don't feel well enough to face food.
Stress beyond the ability to cope is bound to bring up some of the old coping skills. The best thing to do is reduce the stress, even if that means disappointing your inlaws. (Unless disappointing them would lead to more stress with your husband than giving in would? In which case, shame on him.)
I hope you feel better soon. The body needs rest and calm to recover from surgery.
