Brief Answer:
Do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
1. Back pain, weakness and lethargy will gradually subside with time.
Repeated breast feeding and baby sitting makes one tired and once the baby is 5-6 months of age, these problems gradually wane off.
2. Weight loss occurs both by exercise and breast feeding. Weight loss is gradual process and will occur with continuous effort.
3. You can start doing mild exercises now, and proper gym exercises can be done only 6 months after the caesarean section.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Farting is common due to intake of multivitamins and iron tablets.
