I'm three weeks post op and feel drained!!no energy what's so ever...any ideas for a boost?

Oh my goodness! I just came on here to post the exact same thing. I'll be two weeks post-op Thursday and am feeling the exact same way! I slept the day away yesterday and today am feeling like I've been hit by a bus. I'm not sore, not swollen, following the post-op diet pretty well and taking all my vitamins, but I am COMPLETELY exhausted!

Me too!!!!i got my kids off to school this morning and came home and slept and still can get laundry going!!lol!!

B12 drops they help with energy a ton!!

I experienced the same thing a few weeks after surgery. My doc said it was completely normal. After all you are recovering from a surgery. It takes time to heal. Rest when you need to and take some naps. You'll be feeling more energetic soon!

Sounds like your body's response from not eating as much. Its not getting the fuel it used to....so its having a fit

Its like when you eat too much....your body is tired and weak because your body is WORKING OVERTIME to digest the food. In this case....your body is WORKING OVERTIME to find energy to burn perhaps.

Obviously, I'm not a doctor...just sharing

Im now 3 1/2 post op and felt the same as you it will get better.I just went back to work on Saturday and was exhausted(I work in a ER) and today I feel do much better.I thought something was wrong with me I'm sleeping all the time.Hang in there it will get better.Best of luck to all of you!

It is definitely the healing process and the lack of nutrition. I got moved to full liquids and had some soup today and you would have thought I drank Premium fuel. That coupled with it being a nice day made me feel so much better.
