So tired!

[lucielu 21]

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.

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.

[lucielu 21]

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.< br>
