Sleep and more sleep...

[bellabill 253]

I am 50 and sleeved 9 days ago. I am finding myself sleeping on my back since surgery then I go the couch and sleep another 2 or so hours. I feel so tired! Ughh...I guess my body needs it and I really want to get back to normal. Anybody felt like this in the beginning?

Same here!!! I sleep a lot since surgery and feel tired all day

Yes, I was quite tired & sleepy initially. Even in the 2nd into 3rd weeks, I was still napping. Were you anemic before surgery? We had labs done at our 1 week & that should pick that up.

Oh yes, I hear that being sleepy/tired is 100% normal!!!! Your body needs the sleep to heal......youll have your energy back a month post op (so Ive been told by other bypass patients)
