I did for the first several weeks. You just had major surgery. It will pass.

I found the surgery took a lot out of me as well. Even if I felt good afterwards I had very little energy. I think my body was trying to recover. I was able to work in the yard over the weekend and each day seems to be getting better.

Anesthesia can make you feel like crap for up to 4 weeks. Also, try to remember you body is healing. I felt like crap for 8 weeks after my c-section. I was tired for a good month or six weeks after my surgery. It will pass.

This was my biggest complaint after surgery. It slowly got better and by 7-8 weeks it was completely gone. I took lots of naps! It will go away so just do what your body is telling you.

Yes. Very very low energy. Not able to participate in life much for the first month . In the second month day by day it got better. After 6 weeks I started a beginning exercise program. Thereafter, slowly I recovered to full strength and then some. You had major surgery. You don’t get enough Protein at first. Give yourself permission to recover. I was scared I’d be like that forever, but I have more energy now 3 months out than I did before surgery.so will you.
