EXTREMELY drowsy is that normal?

My body has been extremely drowsy especially in the morning time to the point where it's really hard for me to get out the bed is that normal

? 2 months 2 weeks. Post op

I'm only four weeks out, but when I had my followup with my surgeon last week, he told me fatigue will be the last to go. A friend of mine told me it took her more than two months to feel herself. I'm especially tired AND with insomnia on top of it, and when I do sleep it's fairly broken. I'm trying to start adding in more activity because I feel like maybe it's a momentum thing, like if I'm more active I'll become less fatigued. However, I do still need to rest a LOT. Good luck!

Yes, this fatigue is normal and the only way to deal with it really is to start to push yourself. This assumes you are getting your proper hydration.

I just had surgery last wed. On my spine and I can barely keep my eyes open. I realize it is time for me to get my behind moving a bit more. You really have to push yourself to get that back. It will get better.

I go back to work tomorrow. I work midnight shift. Been on normal day schedule since surgery. My energy level is low. This will be interesting.

I work nights too! Long shifts to boot. I am taking the max amount of time allotted because of that. When I got my band the recovery was easier and I worked a more "normal" schedule so I went back after one week. I need to spend the rest of this time off working on my endurance. I have tried doing things but wind up so tired that I need to come home and rest. So for the next two-plus weeks I'll be trying to extend the amount of time I can be out doing things.
