No energy

I had my surgery August 6th and was told the first 2 weeks I wouldn't have energy but then that would change. Well here I am with no energy...like dozing at work and no energy for anything. This normal and is there anything I can do? Thanks!

Try sublingual B12. That will help. And enhanced electrolyte water with minerals. I had low energy for about a month and still occasionally do...I'm 10 wks out. Good luck. It will get better.

You're still only a month or so out, you will feel tired at the moment... I know I do at 5 weeks. It is normal and having just spoken to my surgeon today, I'm assured it will pass as you continue to recover.

Are you taking all your multivits? I take Multivitamin, D3 and B12 daily. It could also help if you start your day with something energising like a Protein shake.

Sipping on Water and/or a Protein Shake throughout the part of the day you tend to feel drowsy (for me it's the post-lunch afternoon slump) can keep you feeling energised too.

I'm taking my vitamins and getting my protein in. I do a shake in the morning and afternoon/evening

My energy slump last a few weeks after surgery. Push through it! One day you will wake up feeling like the energizer bunny. It's weird but true. Make sure you are eating enough times throughout the day. I wrote down everything for the first month to make sure I ate, drank and took all my vitamins. I was too tired to remember much of anything.
