So tired!

I am one week post-op today. I have been following my doctors orders to a T minus getting all the water in. I am not sleeping well at night and I am exhausted during the day. It's seems to be getting worse as the week goes on. Maybe because my body is changing but I'm not sure. Even taking a shower takes everything out of me. Thoughts?

Normal. The first three weeks were the most exhausting of my life. Just make sure you are getting fluids in. I literally had to rest after walking 15 feet.

I am one week post op today! I've felt the exact same everyday except today... Here's what I did differently yesterday- got in a little extra protein, drank a little extra water, and ate some of my Mimi's potato soup broth.. I think the extra calories helped!

I feel the same. I am 10 days postop and tired constantly. I also can't sleep at night so i try to take naps during the day which I think makes the situation worse. I am trying to get in more protein and water but it's tough this early on. Have my 10 day appointments with my NUT and surgical nurse today so I will see if they have any other suggestions. I go back to work on Monday so I hope I can figure this out.
