Should I start exercising again?

Hey all! Say, I was in the hospital about 3-1/2 weeks ago for 4 days with a serious ulcer. Since I've been home I have been on meds (down to just the Protonix now) that cause diarrhea which has left me run down and light headed a lot of the time. Anyway, since coming home and shedding my I.V. water weight, I have gained back about 3-4 pounds and seem to be maintaining that even though everything goes right through me within a couple of hours. I've also noticed that my stomach seems to be 'bloated' more than normal. Needless to say, all of this has been a bit annoying/frustrating. I am currently drinking 1-2 protien drinks a day and am on double doses of my multi-vites (4 a day), iron, and vitamin A (per my doctors orders) until my next scope...hopefully late this week or early next week. My question is: Should I start back to cardio and weight training this week even though I feel terrible (light headed and no energy)? Will this help me get some energy back or only drain the little that doesn't just 'pass right thought'? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
