Low Energy Levels Post-Op

I am 4 weeks and 4 days past my VGS date. I did very well during and after my surgery. I am sleeping well and have very little discomfort. I am eating well and have no problems with food, fluids, or Vitamins. I just have very little energy. I go to sleep tired and wake up tired. I do have Fibromyalgia and depressive illness, but I am taking my regular medications and have not noticed any change in these conditions, post surgery. What is going on? Anybody got a clue as to what is happening to me? I have started my exercise routine as well, but don't feel any better of or worse from it. Let me know if you have experienced this and/or if you have any ideas as to why I feeling this way. Thanks!

Karen

I am still preop....ten days to go. My surgeon said to expect very low energy level and fatigue for the first three months after that they call it the honeymoon phase cause you feel so good then. They also said the we will be so tired because most people are going from around three thousand calories a day to around five hundred. Give it some more time.

It always takes me a couple of months to recover the fatigue after general anesthesia.
