Tired all the time ..

I have absolutely no energy.. But I am continuously told that exercise is important and so is muscle mass I'm so tired I can barely go up the stairs this is just now happening I had my surgery on the 12th and I was able to walk so much .. Now I'm so tired I just want to lay down. Is this normal? Will it get better?

  • It's totally normal. It will get better. Some days you'll just be more tired than others. I'm 9 wks out and I'm barely making it up the stairs sometimes. No way I could do anything other than walking

Thank you for the encouragement, it's much needed.????

I've been the same, and the clinic assured me it's normal after being on the liquid diet. They said that after eating "real" food for a week or so, I should be feeling a lot better.


You have had little to no protein according to some of your other posts, so it makes sense you would be tired. Hoping your NUT has clarified that by now and as you add in protein and more foods, it should get better. Also be sure you are drinking enough. Dehydration can cause weakness and tiredness.
