I think it's common. Are you on any meds? If you take BP meds - you may need them adjusted.

Yes, this is perfectly normal. You just had major surgery. There is nothing wrong with testing.

Just focus on your Protein and fluids, and keep taking your Vitamins as instructed. It gets better.

I do take BP meds and it's always been fairly good even w the weight and now that I'm losing, I'm sure they prob do need to be adjusted! Hmm didn't think of that.,.. thanks!

@@scampbell33 I'm 17 days out and also started feeling very tired about day 12. Checked my BP and it was suddenly about 30 points lower. My doc took me off my meds two days later when it dropped further, and now I'm beginning to get some energy back. So it would be a good idea to check your BP and talk to your doctor.

I have felt very tired since surgery and i am 12 weeks post op. For me it is less each day but When I feel very drained i try to knap especially on weekends. During the work week I go to bed early to avoid feeling too tired. My blood work indicated my Iron is low and I am taking additional supplements to increase it. Our bodies are adjusting to all the changes and for some of us it takes a bit longer to feel 100% back to normal. This wont be forever.
