Yes, it is normal to be exhausted for several weeks after surgery, not just a couple of days even. Be kind to yourself, nap when you need to and walk as much as you can.

Walk enough to avoid blood clots and nap.

You just had major surgery. Rest.

Yup very very normal. You had major surgery and are still dealing with the side effects of anesthesia and pain meds and very little caloric intake. At this point you need make yourself walk and get your fluids. I was exhausted for a couple weeks. There is a incredible light at the end of the tunnel and it just doesn't get better it gets incredible! You will get there!

Yes, you are normal---well in this incident anyway. ;)

Your body isn't awake yet from general anesthia. You just had a serious surgery that your body may take 6 months to "normalize".

Be patient with yourself. Be kind to yourself.

Rest, sip, walk, sip and then......REPEAT. :) (don't forget a bit of peeing and pooing :) )

Your journey will get better. I promise.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
