my body just wants to sleep

I force myself to get up move around go for walks. Sip my Water, but I could seriously sleep non stop. I'm 4 days post op, and I'm hardly using the pain meds so it's not that, I might take one time a day if that. How long. Did you feel this way?

_{Go to bed and get some sleep. You are recovering from surgery. You will heal faster. Walk when you are awake. Do not deny your body what it needs right now. You'll feel better faster.}

I slept a lot at first as well. Your energy will come back.

I am 5 days post-op and just woke up from a three hour nap!

The first two days I hardly did anything except sleep. I've been much more awake for the next three but have taken nap each day.

Right now all I am doing is measuring fluids, sipping fluids, taking it easy, and measuring and sipping more fluids. I noticed more energy after I focused on getting in more warm chicken broth.

It gets better every day. Your body does a lot of healing while asleep. Listen to what it's telling you to do, but don't neglect the hydration.

That makes me feel a little better I'm not the only one. I'm up to walks 2 or 3 times a day around the block

how are you making out? I wish I could sleep. Generally, I can sleep without a problem, but since surgery 6/10 I'm not sleeping at all. I wish you all the best

I'm sleeping a lot also. It's natural, your body is recovering from a major surgery. You will heal better if you listen to what your body wants.

I've been sleeping about 9 hours at night and taking 2-3 hour naps every day.

sleep as much as you can! Your body wants to repair itself. Don't push yourself and just relax.
