No Energy

[crafty_lady1971 17]

I had my surgery Wednesday, the 24th. I have almost no energy. I have had different surgeries previously and never felt like this. The abdominal pain is more of a discomfort, and the shoulder pain is almost non-existent. Another thing is that I woke up very grumpy this morning. I just do not feel like myself.

well, you body doesn't has any sugar and it is make a lot of chemical changes right now and doesn't like it. Depression is very common in the beginning if it keeps up talk to doctor about anti-depressents for short time if you don't normally have depression..hang in there it ges better and is so worth it in the long run.

You have had major surgery. Give the body a bit of time to adjust! Rome was not built in a day!

Cheznoel is right.....Rome was not built in a day. Don't under estimate the assault this surgery has on your body. I was very much out of sorts for a good 2.5 weeks, and didn't really feel "good" until 4 weeks. During the first three weeks I had weepy moments, and felt very frustrated at times. Even yesterday, I was so out of sorts, and all I wanted to do was eat......but I couldn't. I wanted to take a sleeping pill to escape, but I had to just sit with the feelings & wait for it to pass.

Give yourself a break.... If you feel sad or out of sorts, allow yourself to feel it; don't fight it. Just rest, go for a walk, read a book, etc. The days will pass soon enough, and you will come through this.
