POST SURGERY- When did you get your energy back and go to the gym?

My op was 3 weeks ago and although I have zero pain I get exhausted so quickly. I will need to rest after cleaning or doing laundry... When did everyone feel fully back to normal energy-wise and when did you start going to the gym? Id love to go but I just an not physically up to it yet. Is this normal?
