My surgery was back on the 30th and with everyday that passes things have gotten easier. Today is my first roadblock. I woke up and have no energy. I mean I could barely get out of bed. I started my Protein Shakes yesterday. Im sure I will get some energy soon. I know my body is still getting used to the surgery. Is anyone having or had the same issue and what did u do? Thanks

It's normal to have low energy the first few weeks after surgery because your body is healing and you are only getting a small amount of carbs and calories. I remember having to rest frequently for the first few weeks. Listen to your body, you will start to have more energy when you get to a point that you can take in more for hydration and fuel. You will feel a little better every day.

However, if you have other symptoms with it, like running a fever, or getting sweaty and shaky, call your doc asap.

Being tired is normal for the first few weeks. Your body is healing and you're getting fewer nutrients. It should pass.
