Fatigue

I'm a little over a month out from my surgery day. I started out the week after surgery walking 15-20 min, went to 40 the next, and have been walking an hour each day this week. The actual walking part isn't much of an issue other than blisters on my feet.

During the normal day this week though I've been exhausted. It's summer break for me as a teacher, so I can sleep if I'm tired, but this has been a pretty abrupt change from how I've felt the last two weeks. I know its still close to surgery date, my body is still adjusting etc.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, I was really shattered for the first month and a half after surgery. The anesthetic just makes me feel so tired (I've had this with plenty of other ops too). Just take it easy and enjoy your summer break. You should be fine by the time your break's over.

I was pretty tired for about the first 6 weeks. I walked about 30 minutes per day so if you are walking 1 hour per day I can see why you are getting tired!

Maybe you can reduce the number of days you are walking? You may also need to increase your protein.

Take care and KUP
