Well hello there! The best advice i can give to you is this. . . do as your doctor says, he/she is the best source of advice, they know what they want you to do and i'm sure they have done this many times. . . different countries, different strategies, even here we follow what OUR doctors say, so must you . . . as far as exercise, when you go to your appointments, just ask the doctor when and if you can start exercise and start out with walking. . . i'm sure you can walk now, after all they did surgery on your tummy not your legs. . . so walk. . . you'll have more energy once you start moving about, but it's up to you . . . good luck and just follow the doctors advise and you'll be ok. . .

You may want to keep an eye out for Protein Powder - maybe you can buy some on-line? If you can't find any, drink milk, liquid yogurt, and kefir to get Protein and calories in. You can make a smoothie with some yogurt that might help you out - as long as it is completely smooth.

Ask your doctor if there are any supplements locally that he can recommend.

Good luck--
