Wrecked 10 days out

[Happy with two 17]

HI All, first time on here, I'm in Ireland and had my surgery on March 10th, I had a blood loss and my haemaglobin dropped but I'm so whacked out. I feel I have no energy. I do small jobs and thats it then. Anyone else feel like this. food wise I'm flying.

It took about two months before my energy level was back to what it was pre-surgery, although it gradually got better, day by day...

I still feel a lack of energy when I forget to eat and I am out and about. I always carry a Protein Bar and stop for a glass of milk if I need extra after that

I'm sorry you had to go back to work so quickly. I took two weeks off ( no pay). I thought that was the minimum!

Fluids to build back your volume and lots of Protein. make sure you are taking your Multivitamin with iron!

You're less than 2 weeks out from major surgery. You're eating almost nothing. Be gentle with yourself and patient with your new stomach. You're healing. You'll be fine.

Having no energy is normal. I felt like it took me a few months to regain my energy back. Protein and Iron are going to factor into that. I'm sure you will have bloodwork soon and hopefully, your doctor can recommend some changes to help with that.
