Extreme Fatigue

[sharoncarrie 49]

I'm 3 1/2 weeks out & I've never been so fatigued in all my life. It is all I can do to drag myself out of the bed. I have no energy at all. It is being to get me depressed. Not sleepy just fatigued. Any advice?

are you taking your Vitamins and getting in some protein... are you dehydrated?

I think the fatigued spell is normal at 3 weeks. Once you get the balance of Water, Protein, Vitamins, and exercise you start to improve.

Being tired is normal. Your energy will return soon

I'm glad to hear this is normal. I was feeling bad thinking I was just suddenly very lazy. I feel like I need a nap but I'm not sleepy. I get all my Vitamins and Protein in. I exercise some but should do more. Just tired. I'll just begin my third week on Thursday and can begin puréed foods. Maybe that will help some. Glad to know the feeling will pass.

I am finding when I get all food requirements and hydration requirements + Vitamins, I am less fatigued. Fatigue is normal after surgery as it takes a long time for the anesthesia to exit the body. Plus our bodies need time and energy to heal.

I, too, am glad to hear this is normal! I hit 4 weeks out yesterday and almost as if a light switch was hit, I woke up exhausted and unable to get ANYTHING in. Despite doing well with Protein, Water, and Vitamins. I'm focusing extra hard today on my liquids. If I can at least keep up with them, I pray to not fall into dehydration.
