5 weeks out, almost 50 pounds gone, can anything I want but I feel so fatigued!

Trying to get over a sinus infection, ears are plugged, just feel overall runned down and yes I'm taking vitamins. How long did it take for you start feel completely better after surgery?!?!?

6 weeks. I now feel great! Not run down, HAPPY. I use to be really shy and quiet but find myself opening up and feeling great.

I also got sick at 5 weeks. Hang in there. chicken bullion cubes were a life saver. :D

Yeah, after 3 weeks I felt like the king of the world - so it's definately your infection. Look after yourself! :)

I'll be honest, for some reason it took about 6 to 8 weeks for me to get my "pep" back. I started working after about 3 weeks out, 12 hours shifts, and I think I went back too early, but I had no energy it seemed like for a long time. Once this passes, you'll feel amazing! Your in my prayers.

I got a sinus infection over Christmas at 6 weeks. I was exhausted. Fast forward to last week- I got the flu! I just want to feel better! I told my boyfriend- I am so sick of being sick.

This is a hard time to have such a major surgery with cold and flu season in full swing. It's hard to go back to full activity on so little food, and harder still if you have a bug. I think you'll find once you get over it you'll snap back pretty quickly. You're over the worst hurdles....ok most of them....just get rid of the sniffles! Take care

Thanks for the encouragement. My ears being plugging in and out is the worse part. Just gives an overall unwell feeling.
