I've had an increase in energy but immediately after surgery I was falling asleep very easily. It probably took me 6 to 8 weeks before I noticed the increase in my energy.
Now, I am more active. I used to walk into a room and look for a chair to sit on because I needed to sit. Now, I can stand more and usually prefer moving to sitting.
I frequently do an hour of Zumba and still have enough energy for a half hour walk with my husband later.
One day recently, my husband and I had an hour to kill waiting to pick up a child. He asked what I wanted to do. I suggested we go for a walk. He looked at me and asked what I'd done with his wife. He pulled into a restaurant instead, and we had a cold beverage while waiting. So although it doesn't always take, I am more likely to suggest an active activity than a sit down one. :-)

Me personally it took 4 months to get over the fatigue post surgery. I do believe a lot has to do with the drastically reduced caloric intake, as well as the very tiny amount of carbohydrates/sugars we are able to get in.
However, please note that I am now hi intensity and very full of energy. I can be annoying sometimes with it but oh well!!! I love the new me, and every chance I can burn some calories I'm doing it. Early morning, late mornings, evenings... I'm thinking of ways to move my body.

There is hope for me then! I am exhausted at 10 days post- op.

I was cleared for "anything" after 3 weeks but I still didn't lift much until about 6 months....like my saddle. Have hubby toss the saddle up for you the next couple of months maybe and have fun!
