Be sure to meet your Protein and Fluid amounts and take Vitamins. If you're on meds for your blood pressure - they may need adjusting too. You've been through major surgery - you'll be exhausted for a while.

It'll get better. My NUT said my lack of energy was totally normal. Everyone will feel different initially right after this surgery. Stay hydrated, rest and move about as you can so you don't develop blood clots. I didn't start feeling like myself until about 6 weeks.

I am also having low energy in my 3rd week post op. It seemed to coincide with starting on solid foods. (Dr said i could switch to solids at my 2 wk f/u visit) I don't think I'm getting enough Protein or liquids, as I am not able to eat enough and have to wait so long for the full feeling to subside before drinking again. I'm so exhausted I get winded from doing everyday things like making coffee in the morning. I know everybody is different, but it sounds like 6 weeks is the magic time. Looking forward to it!
