Why am I so tired?

Week 1 recovering from surgery, week 2 amazing amounts of energy, now week 3 heading into week 4 I am beyond tired. I drink the fluids, I drink 2 protein shakes a day and eat 1 meal (barely) and I went back to work today after 3 weeks but I am bone weary tired. I have been exercising, take my vitamin. Is this the norm at the 3/4 week mark? Thanks

  • Yes this is so normal. It took me about 3 months to really not feel tired. The first 2 months your body is healing and going through so many changes. It gets better.

Hang in there - keep working on getting in your Protein and your fluids. Be kind to yourself - if you need to nap or rest, do it. Also, if you are able to cleared, walk. Starting to get into shape will help with your energy as you heal.

Just an update, I am 6 weeks tomorrow and I made a few changes and I feel pretty darn good. Upped my fluids, changed from once daily chewable vit to 3x a day capsule and added 2x a day chewable b12 and eat a quest bar when I know a true solid protein is gonna cause problems. All reviewed by my nut. Feeling ssssoooo much better, thankfully :)
