New to website have some questions

Hi this is my first time on the site. I'm one week out of surgery and feel weak in the mornings. Is this normal?

Yes. You should steadily improve from here on out. If you have concerns then speak with your doctor.

You probably won't feel 100% right away. Do your best to get in all of your protein and fluids and take your vitamins when instructed. All of these will help you to get your energy back as you heal.

I felt terrible in the mornings for a while. I wound up having some complications so I'm sure it will go away for you faster than it did for me, but yeah, I'd say feeling weak in the mornings is totally normal. Advice: coffee makes it worse, and don't take a hot shower-- it taxes the body too much.

Welcome to my sister!! Im so glad you joined this site! You will find so much support and great advice here! I agree with inner surfer girl. Make sure to follow your program. Your doing great so far! Love you!!!

I felt weak for a good month- certainly until I could eat solids.

It gets better!
