I am ten days post op. I can't seem to do more than 2 1/2 hours of straight activity without going down for a long nap. This then throws off my bedtime. When will I have more energy?

Maybe take a b12 supplement to help you out?

I think I get a prescription on Thursday. I have to choose between daily spray or bill or a monthly shot. I wonder what is better.

It took me about three weeks before I was completely nap-free (everyone is different though). Major surgery makes your body need a lot more sleep in order to recover and heal, so take all the naps you need.

Me too, it was about 3 weeks before my energy levels came back. It took a few months to get back to my total energy level I had pre-op.

That's good to hear. I'm 15 days out and was starting to get frustrated with my lack of energy. I keep thinking once I get on "mushy" foods next week and can get some calories that it will get better.

im almost 4 weeks post op and i just started getting some of my energy back.

Listen to your body..It is telling you that you are not ready yet for a full tilt exercise program....Your body is different then mine.....Sleep if you need to it helps heal the body....As you go along your energy will increase along with your activity...

Start now to listen and work with your body instead of your mind and go step by step...K
