One week post

[paulatoney 8]

This is my eighth day post surgery and I've lost 13 pounds. I seem to be up every three maybe four hours and I'm totally wiped out again and ready to lay down. Is this normal, and if so how long does this last? I go back to work in another week, concerned I'm going to be exhausted, Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

I'm 18. Days out and I still have those days. I have problems with running to the bathroom after every meal. I'm still having problems even wanting to eat. Trying to get my Water in. I always want to sleep.

It's takes like six weeks for the anesthesia to completely get out of your system.

Good to know that's probably what is wiping me out so easily hopefully energy will come

Your body is going thru some major changes inside. It's trying to figure out what happened, trying to heal itself and it's not getting the rest it's used to. I was off for a total of 2 full weeks and did the 3rd week with 1/2 days. It's not easy, try to go easy on yourself.
