No energy!!!!!!!

[ichthyology 0]

I am tow days post banding. I have NO energy at all today. Yesterday was fine until I got home from the hospital. Slept from 5 PM to 7 AM. Got up and tried to take a walk but could not do it. All I wanted to do is sleep. Came home and slept another 5 hours.

Now, an hour later I can barely keep my eyes open. What the heck is going one?

Anyone else had this problem!!!!!!!

Perfectly Normal.

C'mon, you've just had SURGERY! :sneaky:

The effects of the anesthesia will linger for a while, and just the trauma your body has suffered from the surgery is going to wear you down for a while.

Some people do better than others; some take a few days(or longer) before they get their "mojo" back!

Just relax, sleep, rest....but make sure you get some exercise.....you need to begin walking right away. They probably made you walk in the hospital, you need to continue that. Infact, the more you walk, the faster you will begin feeling normal again!

If you're taking a prescription pain med, cut it back to 1/2 and see if that helps! Also you need to walk (prevent clots) and breathe deeply frequently to keep Fluid from collecting in your lungs ... even if you can only walk short distances, do so as often as you can. Also drink water; it will help flush your system.

Were you a coffee, tea, or soda drinker prior to surgery? You may be missing caffeine, too....

I am two days post op as well...

It could be the pain medication... I didnt need any meds today, so I didnt take them... but I was prescribed Percoset... and it made me drowsy within 30 minutes of taking it. I feel alot of chest pain though... especially after I eat something. :sneaky:

What's going on is that you had surgery and are on a liquid diet. And you might be on pains meds too, all of which will cause you to be tired.

Get plenty of rest and keep up with the Fluid. Take advantage of the resting so your body can heal.
