Marella,
Not that this will make you feel better, but here in Italy where I had my operation it is standard that you stay in the hospital 6 - 8 days after the operation and you are served bland puree in a bowl after two days of nothing to eat or drink, then they allow water or tea(at meal time) and you are served a cereal puree. There is not bathing during this time. It is commen that you are going to feel this way for the 1st week or so, so dont expect yourself to be so energetic, take a deep breath and try to stay calm and tranquil as thinking about being energetic, taking baths/showers and knowing how much you are loosing at this point are adding unneeded stress and worry in your life at time when you need the mental energy to get back to feeling better and start walking, eating and consuming water in a short time.

Try it and see if you are not feeling better in a few days and remember breath and relax, clear your mind of the doubts and worries.

Have a great day Marella.
