Please get back to your physical activity. You should do about half hour walk in the morning and evening. As the time passes, the time given for walking should increase.
In Caesarean we do nothing to your intestines. So constipated can't be due to Caesarean, certainly not after 7 weeks. Physical activity, proper diet with roughage and green vegetables, fresh fruits should be used to improve your bowel movement.
