ZaKiya 16 Posted May 16, 2013 Hey I am two weeks post op and I am walking but I get really tire to the point that I just want to curl up and sleep wherever I am. Anyone have this issue and what you doing for it thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brooke Johnson 7 Posted May 16, 2013 I had my op on may 1st. I feel the same way. the last two days I have taken four hour naps. Are you getting heartburn? I don't know if it a lack for Protein? Are you writing down everything you eat? I need to start. God luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZaKiya 16 Posted May 16, 2013 No heartburn but I do not know when I am hungry and no not doing good with writing it down either gotta do better. I have had issues with diarrhea and it is usually after a boost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigepc 84 Posted May 16, 2013 I felt the same way at first, your body is recuperating from the surgery. I took 5 weeks off work and when I went back I was exhausted after a few hours. It will get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZaKiya 16 Posted May 16, 2013 I guess I am not alone here 3 months post op here and still lacking energy come 2 pm I am toast. When does this energy go back to normal anyone in the same boat. 3 months whew!!! I am only 2 weeks out I can't imagine another 10 weeks of this. I try to get enough sleep at night but I have to take naps. I understood the first few days because it was fresh maybe I am rushing. I might need to learn how to chill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tv22120 19 Posted May 16, 2013 I told the doctor the same thing he said not to worry and to take it slow. He also reminded me I just had major surgery. I'm almost 3 weeks post op. The problem I've been having is when I get up or bend over and stand up straight I get dizzy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharonintx 1,275 Posted May 16, 2013 At a little over 2 months I feel a whole lot better and nearly normal. I still get tired though. I quit having to take naps 2-3 weeks ago but sometimes I sneak one in anyway. Now I can make it through the biggest part of the day without feeling exhausted but around 3 - 4 in the afternoon I'm tired. Hang in there. The term "it will get better" probably sounds like a broken record but just like all the things your mother told you - it's true:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I keep reminding myself that I had part my stomach removed and 3 days in the hospital. Funny how you forget Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chinamama 104 Posted May 16, 2013 I don't know that we forget, but I think real life intrudes. I had plotted out a month to recoup, but the child is going on a trip next week, MIL is sick of take-out and the special training I have been getting for the last 15 months is wrapping up, and if I want to be certified I need to be there. And we won't talk about those who were in the gym and back to work in 5 days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZaKiya 16 Posted May 16, 2013 Maybe so because I want to just jump back in life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
