blizair09 3,250 Posted February 17, 2017 How much daily Fluid does your plan require at 2 weeks? On mine, they definitely wanted you at 64 oz at that point, so upping your Water intake might help some. I can tell you that I fought serious fatigue for a good 2 months post-op. I took off work for 6 weeks, and I still struggled in the afternoons for the first two weeks when I went back. Just to be on the safe side, I'd call and check-in with your team. They will know how to best advise you. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Kate_ 2,224 Posted February 17, 2017 You have been through a massive operation and for some (me too!) exhaustation can be the worst thing in recovery. I would try to get more Fluid in and rest as much as you can. Hope you feel better soon Kate 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
