Low energy

[Pietzsapie 14]

I feel run down pretty easily. I can't do as much as I could before. Please tell me this gets better. I start my supplements Friday so maybe that will help.

I am pre op but my facilitator told me I would be very fatigued. She said if I even walk around the block it will tire me out. I think its probably normal. If you are worried you should call the doc and maybe get some blood tests. Always better to be safe than sorry.

I just had my post op appt yesterday. He said all is well. I'm just not used to this low level of energy. Thank you if I notice it not getting better I'll definitely call my doc.

It will get better...it doesn't say when you had your surgery...I assume it was recently...

I say this all the time...however....what you have to remember is that you just had MAJOR surgery...even tho you just have a few scars on the outside, your insides like like Frankenstein's monster!!!

Be sure to stay hydrated, take your Vitamins, especially B12...and RELAX... your body needs time to heal...you'll be better than ever soon! Honest!

My MD also said it may only last a couple of weeks or it may last up to 2 months. Everyone is different, and your body is still trying to adjust. It is totally normal and it will pass. Mine lasted about 2 wks, and the therapist they sent me to for my pre-surgery psych eval also had this surgery said hers lasted 2 months. Of course everyone is different.

I'm at 5 weeks out. Some days, I have a ton of energy. Most days, it's all I can do to get at least 1/2 an hour of exercise in. And I've been taking a little nap daily. The doctor said energy levels will return, and be patient. Yes, I wish I could walk and cycle as much as I had pre-surgery, but I know my body's not done healing (and believe me, I can tell when I overdo it)

Those days when I'm full of energy? There doesn't seem to be enough work needing done around the house to keep me busy.

I'm 4 1/2 months po and I also get those days. Some days I have tons of energy, others not so much and I end up taking a small nap. I have noticed when I get closer to time for my next appointment with my Dr my energy levels are usually low, but I think that's because it's almost time for my B 12 shot.
