kari,
Approximately 21/2 weeks after surgery I started walking.. Around 4wks I was doing cardio and light weights... I increased the exercise time in incraments. I was given a food journal by my surgeon that listed what I should be eating at what month through this journey... I stuck by my regimen religously. It slowly introduced foods and I felt accountable for what I was eating for the first time in my life. Every dr is different.. If you want I can scan what i ate and can send it to you via email.. You can compare information that you were given. Don't get discouraged! It's a matter of finding what works for you...This manual is about 7 pages long and it tells you what I ate for the first 12 months.
