My surgery was back on the 30th and with everyday that passes things have gotten easier. Today is my first roadblock. I woke up and have no energy. I mean I could barely get out of bed. I started my protein shakes yesterday. Im sure I will get some energy soon. I know my body is still getting used to the surgery. Is anyone having or had the same issue and what did u do? Thanks

Hang in there!!! What were you drinking before the protein shakes, clear liquids? Congrats on surgery!!!

Thank you. My Dr wants me to have 3 protein shakes a day. And then the rest with water and other liquids.

It's normal to have low energy the first few weeks after surgery because your body is healing and you are only getting a small amount of carbs and calories. I remember having to rest frequently for the first few weeks. Listen to your body, you will start to have more energy when you get to a point that you can take in more for hydration and fuel. You will feel a little better every day.

However, if you have other symptoms with it, like running a fever, or getting sweaty and shaky, call your doc asap.

Thank you. Im doing about 95 Oz's a day.

Being tired is normal for the first few weeks. Your body is healing and you're getting fewer nutrients. It should pass.
