Why I'm I so tired in the morning?

I'm two weeks pos op and I'm really tired when I wake up in the morning. I'm just wondering why? How can I fix this?

Ops! I meant why am I so tired in the morning?

Just a suggestion but maybe a Protein snack before bed will help. It might help you feel full and help you sleep. Then again, maybe you are not sleeping as well as you think because you're healing. I would suggest talking to your surgeon. He might be able to help.

Your body is still recovering. I had surgery on a Thursday so I had Friday, weekend, work week, 2nd weekend so I had 10 days off before returning to work. I work from home on a computer so not terribly taxing. There were days that I still had to take a nap in the afternoon. I've read on this board that some people are a lot more fatigued post surgery then they had planned on.

The entire energy curve is being strongly changed by your postOp status. Read up on the physiological effects of glyconeogenesis and glycolosis. This 'tired' phase usually passes in short order as our body slides into utilizing the energy derived from all those stored cheeseburgers around our waist lines.
