  1. I'm a little over 5 weeks out from surgery, and I am just so lethargic, I don't want to do anything, not even rollerskating, and that's something I love.   I've been able to get sufficient protein and I've been taking my vitamins, but I am not getting even close to enough water - it has been difficult to fit in the sipping when I need to wait 30 minutes before and after a meal and I've been eating 4 or 5 very small meals a day (or maybe 3 meals and 1-2 snacks).  It seems absolutely impossible to get enough water, but everyone else seems to do fine.  Food-wise, I'm still basically just eating cheese and lunchmeat because nothing else seems to sit right.  It's possible I'm just depressed, since my life has been about gourmet food, and now I have to eat bland, uninteresting things.  I know it'll get better, but right now I just can't life very well.

      Hang in there. It improves. Try sf popsicles, and many of us drink right up to 10 minutes before eating, it's more important to have the 30 minutes after the meal. At five weeks you still need protein shakes and bone broth. Anesthetic takes awhile to leave the body and you are in recovery from major surgery give it time to get your energy back, it took me awhile. Also hormones are out of whack and can cause your mood to be down. Take naps, try to get more liquid in.
