BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted March 20, 2015 Are you getting all your fluids in? All your Protein? Taking your Vitamins & supplements? It's not uncommon to be tired after surgery. I found a needed a nap anytime I went out for the first 2 -3 weeks. If you are following your doctors recommendations then take it easy and give your body time to adjust.

Tauruslady5 154 Posted March 20, 2015 Your body is still adjusting to having much less calorie intake than before the surgery. Just make sure you drink plenty of fluids so you do not dehydrate. If it continues, please contact your surgeon and they may want to see you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blondebomb 580 Posted March 20, 2015 this was major surgery...my internist told me it takes about months for tummy to heal. your body is using most everything to heal. it took me 6 months to start getting my strength back, literally. its going to take time. its a process. keep up the fluids and Protein as much as possible. pace yourself if its possible. hang in there..

GeekMomChanging 48 Posted March 20, 2015 I'm 5 weeks and still really light-headed. In fact I passed out last week and banged my head on the floor. Big bump. The nutrionist suggested lots of chicken broth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
