I'm 3 weeks out, on soft foods. I haven't missed a vitamin, I get all my protein in, and all my fluids. But I feel tired and dizzy. I barely make it through the day. Does this get better? Is it normal? What have your experiences been? Thanks!

I am also 3wks post op and always tired, at times dizzy (I have to get up slowly or else I feel like I may pass out), get out of breath easily, I am also taking my vitamins, getting in my protein and fluids, im curious too if anyone else felt this way.

R u on any meds like for blood pressure losing weight messes with the meds

No meds for blood pressure. I'm hoping this is just because my body has been through a lot and it'll get better.

Seasonal allergies? If my head is a little clogged, I get dizzy when I change direction.

Never had allergies in my life. Thanks for the ideas though. I'll call my doc and see what he thinks.

I think this is normal at this time bcs I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and I'm feeling the same way, well I was up until maybe Thursday or Friday, the last two days I been fine walking 2.5 miles today felt great, but then as soon as I sat down I fell asleep for like 2 hrs.

I am almost 6 weeks out and it does get better... the first 3 or 4 weeks I was also very tired. Everything gets better every day... don't despair

I'm only 2 weeks post op but I still feel very tired. It seems to get a bit easier every day!

I found that it took me about 4-5 weeks to feel like I had a semblance of my prior energy. I am absolutely not a day time napper but I felt like my body was telling me that I needed to recharge to heal. I'm 7 weeks out and 100% back to my normal speed. I see many people on here speaking about their dramatic return to activity, etc but it is a major surgery and your body must adjust in so many different ways. Best wishes!

Hi, I spoke to my Dr about the dizzy spells and he said it is common as your body looses a lot of weight in the first few weeks so this is an adjustment it is making. It will ease but keep drinking sips of water.
