Sleep Habits

I'm 15 days post. The 1st week I couldn't sleep much at all. Now I'm sleeping to much. I'm sleepy all the time. Has anyone else dealt with this?

I was also super tired after surgery. The first month or so I needed naps almost everyday, but it improves the further out you get. Also, when you can eat and exercise normally again, you'll naturally end up with more energy. :)

Yes! I saw my doc 2 days ago and mentioned it. He didn't seem too concerned ....said it was completely normal after major surgery. Throw in low calorie intake and you are wiped out physically. He said it will improve. Crossing my fingers. I went back to work after 4 weeks (this Monday) and around 1:00 I really want a nap! Can't wait for this to get better!

I am 2 weeks post op. First week I was getting into bed at 7pm.... Sleeping straight through until 5.... Have never slept like that. I did go back to work....6 days after surgery. Again... Liquids... Surgery... Hot Florida sun==a very tired me!!!

Thanks everybody for responding. I see my doc tomorrow. I was a little embarrassed about telling him how much I've been sleeping. I sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then another 3 to 4 during day. When I'm tired like this it's hard to get myself motivated to do anything. I'm hoping that nonstop energy will kick in eventually. If that's even possible? ·_·
