4 weeks..tired and sad. Why is that?

[Gulleba 8]

I am four weeks PO this Wednesday.

Have been off work these weeks, and I still feel so tired. I have no problem drinking my Water, or getting enough Protein. But after just a few hours of being outside, meeting people, I get dead tired. I also take all my Vitamins.

Im starting to feel kind of sad here.. sleeping too much. I just miss my work, miss being active. I do t k ow who to talk to about this.

Have any of you passed these feelings? Is it hormones? Help...

I'm 4 weeks and 4 days today PO. I'm back at work since May 2nd. The first week was rough. I'd be exhausted by 1pm. I have some days that are better than others. Some days I have tons of energy and some it takes all I have to get up and go to the bathroom. I think everyone's different. I would read on here while I was off work people walking 2 and 3 miles after their first week. I though wow and I'm lucky to make it to the fridge for a Protein Shake or the bathroom. Take it at your own pace and don't read too much into what one person can do that your not able. It's a major surgery that your body is adjusting too.

It's just good to have this place to share, and hear from other people.

I am also like you, some days I have more energy than others.
I should probably be better at using those days to do fun stuff. (Sorry if my English is off at times, I'm norwegian..)

Anyway..thanks for reaching out. Someti.es that's all you need.

Your right sometimes talking to someone who understands helps. If you need to talk send me a message. I reply back fast. [emoji4]

I was on medical leave from work for 6 weeks post-op. I took a nap every single day for at least 2 hours during that 6 weeks. And when I did go back to work, I still struggled with fatigue for the first 2 weeks (and seriously missed the nap).

After 8 weeks, my energy steadily improved. Just be kind to yourself, and be patient (even though I know that is hard to do sometimes...).

Good luck!

Thank you!

It's great to hear you've been there, and passed it.
I guess I just have to be a little patient, and also try not to sleep so much during the day..bahh..

I think I might have felt a tad isolated, being home, when everybody else is working or studying.

I'm so glad I found this app, I already feel less alone [emoji3]
