Two Weeks Tired

[tle1213 0]

Almost 2 weeks out and find myself dead tired today. I assume it's normal! Whew these hormones are all over the place. Anyone else fatigued? Also, for you women out there....anyone want substantially more Water to drink before/during that 'time of month'?

I am having the same issue with my energy level. I am 6 weeks out of surgery today and my energy is still way down. I'm not sure if it's because i'm having such a hard time meeting my Protein goals daily or if it's hormones or what. As far as the Water is concerned, i have been wanting substantially more Water to drink in general than ever before. I haven't really noticed any difference during that time of the month.

I would love any suggestions anyone can offer in regards to upping my energy level. I'm taking all the Vitamins and exercising, just having a hard time meeting the Protein goal daily. Thanks!

Oh my goodness, me too. I'm three weeks out, and I just slept for 12 hours. No lie! Of course, the intense heat probably had something to do with it (makes you sleepier) but otherwise, I just figured its because my body is starving.

I'm getting all the recommended Protein, three meals and two Snacks, Vitamins, and fluids so there isn't much danger of my being dangerously deficient.

I don't know what else I should be doing to up my energy levels. I've been swimming a little (like 10 minutes a day is all I can handle) maybe that's what's making me zonked?

I used to drink two cups of coffee in the morning, but I haven't since surgery. Maybe my body is missing the caffeine?
