Exhaustion

[jm726 27]

I'm 11 days post op, and over the last few days I've become overwhelmingly exhausted. I get tired doing anything at all... I take Vitamins & try to drink the Protein Shakes. I usually only get in 30g from the shake...& maybe another 15g from the other mushies... I'm getting really depressed & tired. ????

Hi how are you feeling that your a month out?

I am feeling the same. Read on another post someone is walking 4-5 miles a day. I was crazy active prior to this surgery, so this is a big hit. Going to get out and walk my dog this morning to seeing moving creates energy. Good luck to you!

I get tired pretty fast after I exert myself post-surgery (I'm 11 days out now). It's because I'm not getting in enough calories to offset what I'm burning. So I'm following my exercise physiologist's recommendations and taking it easy until I at least get on soft foods. I also was a gym rat the past 6 months, so it has been tough for me to stay away from the gym; I went back today and just walked on the treadmill for a half-hour, and I was a little winded just at my traditional warm-up speed.

So, give it a little time and see how your body starts to respond once you're back eating food!
