Feeling tired is normal, you are recovering from major surgery.

I think it's catching up with reduced calories, not enough fluids, low carb and not a lot of real healthy nutrients (just protein). Also, it could be the winter weather and lack of sunshine.

I think it's normal.

Try getting more fluids. Dehydration causes fatigue too.

Hang in there! You are not alone
