NO energy at 1 month post op

My energy is getting worse at 1 month after surgery. I'm taking my b12 and multi vitamin, I drink an average of 40 ounces of water and average 60-70 grams of protein. But by lunch time it's torture to stay awake. I have so much I need to do! Any ideas? I thought about energy drinks or even possibly asking my endocrinology doctor if its ok for me to take the diet pills he prescribed last year.

I'm not quite at 1 month yet, but my nutritionist and nurse say this is the norm. They say people usually complain about fatigue about a month out. Supposedly, this time is the worst so good news it will get better!

i am about 3 weeks out and i always feel tired and weak. all i want to do is sleep

I loved my bed the first month!!

Energy drinks??? No not good for many reasons and the same for diet pills. Just know It gets better, give it time.

Ps work on the water too! But sure you know that :)

D3 with calcium. Exercise. Plenty of sleep. Fluids.

maybe you need some iron too.. I too feel tired all the time.. but I think that is because I work so much 80hrs a week.. I may need iron.. i will find out when I got for my labs to see if I need more vitamins
