Yes, it is normal to be exhausted for several weeks after surgery, not just a couple of days even. Be kind to yourself, nap when you need to and walk as much as you can.

Yup very very normal. You had major surgery and are still dealing with the side effects of anesthesia and pain meds and very little caloric intake. At this point you need make yourself walk and get your fluids. I was exhausted for a couple weeks. There is a incredible light at the end of the tunnel and it just doesn't get better it gets incredible! You will get there!

Is this normal? Ive been up trying to walk every few hrs. But i can barely hold my head up with feeling tired

Yes, you are normal---well in this incident anyway. ;)

Your body isn't awake yet from general anesthia. You just had a serious surgery that your body may take 6 months to "normalize".

Be patient with yourself. Be kind to yourself.

Rest, sip, walk, sip and then......REPEAT. :) (don't forget a bit of peeing and pooing :) )

Your journey will get better. I promise.
