3 weeks post op and feeling exhausted

SAw DR last week and here told me the lightheaded feeling and exhaustion is from dehydration so I upped my fluids to 70-80oz. Proteins around 90gms but still have no energy. Whenever I go for a walk I have to sit down because I feel faint. Anyone else feel like this? I have to work two 12 hour days back to back this weekend and I afraid I won't make it.

Sounds like maybe you went back to work too soon? Maybe you need to get an off-work order for another couple weeks? With the major surgery that you just went through, it's totally normal to feel exhausted. Some people take months before they get their energy back. The more you exert your body, the less chance it's having to heal itself. I know this is tough for you, because we need that ol' paycheck, but at this stage, your health is really, really important. But I know you know that.

Take care of yourself, and let us know how you are doing.

Unfortunately, not working isn't an option for me. I'm a wedding photographer and couples book me a year in advance. So I guess I'll just be taking a lot of time outs during the day, but better than not showing up. I'll rest during the week, lol.
