Don't get it

[facebro29 272]

I don't get it. I'm 18 post op. I have had days where I feel on top of the world and then I have days like today where I don't want to eat, drink or get out of the bed. Has anyone experienced this? I get in my Water etc but I get days wheee my body is like no!! I'm a bit nervous as I return back to work on Monday and I can't function like this. Any advice is really appreciated.

I am Day 24 post-op, and I still have days where I am weaker than others, and days where my walking wears me out much worse than others. Overall, I still get tired really easy. This is why I am not going back to work until November 14. By then, my plan will have had me on the beginnings of meat for a week, and I am hopeful that my energy levels will be better. (And since that is the week before Thanksgiving, I'll work that week and then be off the entire week after...)

I'm 19 days post op and I am the same way. Some days great and some days seriously weak. Now that I can eat soft meat and Proteins I've been having more great days than bad.

Are you allowed to eat soft Protein yet? Getting enough fluids in?

Standard recovery time after major surgery is 6 weeks. I didn't start to feel human again until around 5 weeks. Be patient, take it easy, and give yourself time to heal.

I'm 19 days post op and I am right there with you. Hang in there it's going to get better. At least that's what everyone says

I went back to work 12 days post op. I got dehydrated and overwhelmed. I struggled through work the next two days and then had the weekend to recover again. On day 18 I went back again and felt much more myself. I started the gym and I can't do as much as I like while working because I'm so tired some nights, but mostly I get through the days ok
