No Energy

[jaymzee 79]

I'm one week out and have absolutely no energy. Is this normal?

Yes. Take a nap

Definitely normal. Your are recovering from major surgery PLUS you aren't eating much of anything. Those two put together = mega fatigue!

Just rest as much as you can - keep sipping and walking too - and know that things get much better!!

[jaymzee 79]

That's the thing, specially yesterday and today I've been naping on and off all day and its not getting better.

I am a week out too and know what you mean. 15 mins up and I have to sit again. Took about a 2 hr nap today. We just have to hang in.... It will get better!!!

Are you allowed to take Vitamins yet, like the optisource chewable ones and sublingual Vitamin B-12? You are still recovering from surgery, it takes a while to get your energy back, hopefully every day is better than the next one.

Yes, I took a nap everyday at lunch in my car for 3 weeks. I don't think I got my energy back until I was about 5-6 weeks post op. I feel really great now at 10-11 weeks post op.

My advice is to get the rest you need.

I'm glad to hear that I am not the only 1. 15 days post op as of today and I still get pretty tired. I'm borderline frustrated because I'm not able to really eat anything, and now I seem to keep a low grade headache... I hope that things do you get much better, on the upside of things I've already lost about 20 pounds so I guess at the end of the day it's a pretty fair trade off...

Noe that I think about it maybe this headache IS from not drinking enuff liquids. 64oz is a lot feel like I'd be sipping more than I eat. I hope I don't have to sip sip sip 4 the rest of my life. Not saying I'd gulp away but man this spping get annoying some times lol

[jaymzee 79]

Thanks guys. Just wanted to make sure i wasn't the odd ball with weird side effects.

[chitowngirl 886]

Yes, totally. I am 7 weeks out and just this week I started to feel like I didnt need a nap after work. Now I have soo much energy I don't know what to do.
