weightisover 4 Posted May 24, 2008 I'm now 5 day spost op and am still feeling quite weak and shaky. Just taking a shower and doing my makeup exhausts me. Is this normal? How long does this last? I want to start doing things again but just dont' have the energy. I'm drinking 2 Protein Shakes a day and eating my cream of wheat twice a day. I am losing weight and am happy with that but gee, I'd like some energy as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :rolleyes2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildercrews 0 Posted May 24, 2008 Be patient - the energy will come. It took be 2 full weeks to regain energy. Now, 7 weeks post-op I feel GREAT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanHardlyWait 0 Posted May 24, 2008 your energy will come back. i spent my first week home and slept like 3 times a day and was just hanging around the house in my jammies. sometimes you have to give yourself that extra push to get going to get back in the swing of things. i am 2 weeks post-op and went back to work the second week. while still a bit tired, my energy levels came back slowly but surely. keep on track with eating right cuase it will help your energy! you'll get there!
