As long as she's sore and recovering!

How "just"? If she got spayed within the past day or so, give her time to recover from the surgery and the anesthesia.
How old is she? Older cats take longer to recover because their surgery is more extensive. Especially if they have had kittens, because then the uterus is much larger and a larger incision is needed.
Did she have any complications such as pyometra (an infected uterus)?
If she was spayd more than a few days ago and she is still inactive she may have an internal infection. You should call your vet and report how she is acting, and perhaps he or she will want to see her.
By the way, the way, the way you describe her, "lazy, inactive and unplayful" sounds like you are rather unsympathetic and are merely annoyed by her behavior. She obviously isn't feeling well...don't blame her for it.

She just had a hysterectomy, for crying out loud! That's a major surgery, even in a human. She should be somewhat better within a week, at the most. If she seems out of sorts for longer, she may have an infection. Cats do sleep a lot, maybe 18 hours a day. She may not be as energetic as she was as a kitten, too. Just make her favorite toys available, and she'll play as much as she's comfortable doing.

Your cat is not a toy so you should just love her for who she is no matter how she behaves. Cats tend to sleep all day and be more active at night; however, when she gets old she'll be even less active. Cats can live for 20 years or more. If the only reason you got her is to be able to play with her then you should consider giving her to a shelter so they can find a better home for her while she's still young.

I suppose it alters with every individual cat, but when I fostered a 1 yr old cat, the day she came home (next day after getting spayed), she was back to her active self. I couldn't even keep her from jumping onto the dresser, into the window sills, and taunting my cat.

Till the soreness goes away or she forgets about it.
