24 days and can barely sit or stand

My info:

24 days since surgery

On all my Vitamins, regularly

Try to meet my daily requirements of Protein and fluids (close with 10)

Try to walk at least once a day (on days I can stand)

Weight from 217, to today 190.

My issue(s):

Still bedridden

Difficult to sit up or stand, much less walk

Light headed, heart pounds

Cramping in calves, biceps, and today lower right stomach (not gas, muscle)

Terribly nauseous, but have not thrown up.

Doctor says this is normal, but I would like to be able to sit or stand by now. Thankful not to have a desk job or I would be fired pretty soon.

Djmohr: that's what I was thinking but my blood work says it is okay. I am anemic and my blood pressure is low, but that would not account for the cramping. I am off of all my blood pressure meds, and making sure to take vitamins, including iron. I have gone back to liquid diet to see if that helps at all.
