I am so tired

[amy.taylor8414 6]

I had surgery 10/26 and I am so tired. I went back to work yesterday and I was fine. Then today I was exhausted halfway through the day. I had to take a half day. I am not energized enough to get my homework done either. I am just so lethargic. I quit caffeine the day of surgery. I have been hitting my Fluid goal and getting about 60 gm of Protein. Has anyone had this? When does it go away?

It's perfectly normal this soon after surgery. I was pretty active post op but needed a nap each day for the first few weeks. Just listen to your body and take the rest as needed.

I'm 6 weeks post op and still get tired easily. The first few weeks were just like BLERDgirl said. I had to nap every day as well. You're doing better than me with the Protein. Keep up that intake and you'll heal faster and have more energy. You're doing fine!

I was exhausted until week 6. Try and rest as much as you can (in between, sipping, walking and eating lol)

Exhaustion is very common. Your body has been through a lot. I didn't start getting my energy back until at least six weeks. Now I have more energy than I've had in years. It will get better. Hang in there!
