Need exercise suggestions

Okay, folks, I just had my gall bladder out. Now, as surgery goes, laproscopic gall bladder removal is about as gentle as it gets, but I'm still sore as hell and feel like I have a constant runner's stitch, so anything cardio or that makes more than stabilizing use of the abs is out for a while yet.
I'm bored. And hungry. And sticking to the calorie limit without any exercise to give me that bit of extra calorie room at the end of the day is KEEEEEEELING me.
Here's the thing though... the weather is terrible, and I can't walk long distances anyway because of a joint issue that takes forever to explain. My exercise bike is downstairs completely blocked off because we just moved, and I can't use it yet anyhow per the doctor. Basically I need stuff I can do in my living room with hand weights that go up to 5 pounds each. Don't laugh, it's what I've got. I'm doing basic bicep curls but that gets boring fast.
Ideas, pretty please?
