I'm so weak. Is this normal? Up until today I have been getting about 50 grams of Protein and 48 oz of Water. Today, I felt so bad (achy and weak) that I could barely get down 1 Protein Shake and only 32 oz of water. I have no fever and no pain. I just feel soooooo weak. Anyone experience this? Is this normal? How long will it last? I'm praying I feel better tomorrow, but would love some reassurance and any tips.

Hi,I know it is already tomorrow so you might be feeling a little better again.

Yesterday was also 1 week for me and on and off I am full of aches and paina ( different ones all the time) and at times I am super tired.

Unlike you I cannot stomach the Protein drinks.You are doing great with that.Try a little more fluids and rest when you feel weak...go for a nap,it might just really change how you feel.

It will still take a while to feel like our new old selves...LOL

I was very fatigued during my first 3 to 4 weeks. I needed mid-day naps to 'recharge' myself. How far along are you? I hope you start feeling better soon!

Being tire and fatigued is very normal you probably want to try and stomach more Protein, or broth or just something else to give you a little more energy. Hang in there!

Totally normal. I was a zombie my first 6 wks, took naps everyday! We are not getting very many calories so we dont have much fuel for our bodies. Let alone the trauma your body went thru. It gets better. Count your 1st month post op as recovery.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm drinking Protein drinks from my surgeon and I get about 27 grams of protein from each shake.< /p>

27g is a good number. The protein mix that I use gives only 19g a sachet. I dont have many options for Protein Drinks where I live so I'm stuck with mine. So I'm taking 2 sachets a day. Make sure you consume the required protein

Also, has your doc prescribed you any medicine for anything? Make sure you take the meds regularly. I was very irregular with my meds in the beginning and let me tell you -- the body immediately retaliates like an angry snake!

Take care of your body and all the best for a speedy recovery!! :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
