3 Days post op feeling shaky and weak

[Laurensloss 13]

My surgery was on wed april 9th. Everything went well but the gas was so painful. Im feeling so much better but I woke up feeling very shaky and weak. Is this normal? I am getting all my fluids in. The doctor doesn't want me to start Protein drinks until monday. Any advice would be helpful.

You're only 2 days out from having a major surgery, at this point you need rest. Just do what your doctor tells you, and you will be fine..

Kelly is right. You just had major surgery, your only goal right now is lots of rest and fluids. Soon enuf the numbing will wear off and it will be a whole new ball game. Rest now so you can be heal faster.

And for post op, I drank propel zero. It has Vitamins in it..made a huge difference in my recovery. That and my heating pad were my bff's for the first month.

6 months post op now and propel zero is still a staple in my house.

agree with all of the above

I think most of us forget that it is MAJOR surgery that we just undertook, because all we have is a few little scars on our tummies.... your insides are healing... rest, sip, walk, repeat... you need to give yourself time...

you've got this...congrats!
