Tired

[Sparklette 381]

So, this morning I feel like my entire body is tired. I have very little energy, anytime I sit too long I sleep.< /p>

Any advice to get some energy?

How far out are you? Maybe you just need to rest. Listen to your body.

Not sure how far post op you are but after four days in the hospital all i did when I got home was sleep for the first week. It is what your body needs. I would drink, walk and sleep. By two weeks out I started to get more energy. It wasn't until one month out I felt like I did pre-surgery. Just hang in there.

Apple juice or gatorade?? that used to happen to me right after surgery, on my first days home, gatorade would wake me up, doctor said it was probably the sugar levels dropping.

I'm four days out. today is the first day I'm feeling this drained.

So sleeping for a million years is normal?

[Marisela 104]

Totally normal!!! You should rest, but don't forget to sip and walk as much as you can. I was in the hospital for 5 days and day 3 was that day for me, I could not even open my eyes but my doctor insisted that I sip and walk...all I wanted was to sleeeeeep!! You will feel better soon!

That's good to know, I was just making sure I wasn't dying. Lol. I'll take a walk then nap again. Thank you!

Yes!!! sleep, listen to body. It's been through a lot! I would be DRAINED after a shower... Out of breath and exhausted! But it slowly comes back.

sleep, sip, and walk.

Happy recovery!

I took a shower this morning, it was a little difficult, I have to step over the tub, and I thought I was going to slip, It was stressful. but the shower itself was nice.

I took a walk, had a nap, and a couple of visitors and some juice, and I feel better now.
