how long to get to feeling better

I had surgery this past thursday. How long before you get some energy back? I feel pretty weak today. Pain has not been an issue. I dont like the lifeless feel.

Hi

I have a schedule I follow to keep me on track and focus. I stared taking my vitamins about 3 weeks prior to surgery to get into the habit of taking my vitamins.

I take Multivitamin with Iron and folic acid.

B-12 complex

Calcium nitrate 1200mg with Vitamin D 3

My food schedule

7:00 Protein shake

9:00 snack Greek yogurt

12:00 lunch Soup w/ protein

3:00 Protein Shake

6:00 dinner soup w/ protein

8:00 snack SF Jello SF pops

In between I have to make sure I am drinking Water I'm not near the 64 ounces yet averaging about 40 not counting SF pops which add to water content.

Meds

Levisin to control stomach cramping

Liquid percoset only drank it three times since being home

Zofran for nausea

Childrens liquid tylenol for mild discomfort or headache took that twice.

And on top of the surgery I got my period two days post op and I'm doing great!
