I'm 14 days out and I get weak as well.... I did walk a mile today and my legs are extremely sore. Are you eating enough??

Are you getting all your fluids in? All your protein? Taking your vitamins & supplements? It's not uncommon to be tired after surgery. I found a needed a nap anytime I went out for the first 2 -3 weeks. If you are following your doctors recommendations then take it easy and give your body time to adjust.

Your body is still adjusting to having much less calorie intake than before the surgery. Just make sure you drink plenty of fluids so you do not dehydrate. If it continues, please contact your surgeon and they may want to see you.

this was major surgery...my internist told me it takes about months for tummy to heal. your body is using most everything to heal. it took me 6 months to start getting my strength back, literally. its going to take time. its a process. keep up the fluids and Protein as much as possible. pace yourself if its possible. hang in there..:)

I'm 5 weeks and still really light-headed. In fact I passed out last week and banged my head on the floor. Big bump. The nutrionist suggested lots of chicken broth.
