12 days post-op

I just have a question,I am 12 days post-op I had the (open ) surgury, I am still so weak, I am healing fine,but after even a shower I am wiped out.Has anyone experiencing this after about 2 weeks out.. Dawn (Missouri)

LOL Hi Dawn.. I feel the same way it takes all I have to take a shower but I can say I do feel better now seems I feel better as the day's go by but can't eat much today..oh well it will get better...wow it's been 16 day's for me.. Shelly

HI Dawn, I'm 9 days out and I was having the same problem. Apparently I was not getting enough water in and my blood sugar was a little low....trying drinking a little grape juice and getting in more water, It was just yesterday I felt that way and today it's better. Good Luck Cathi

Hi Dawn Yes this is very common I to suffer from this as well. Partially its recovering from the surgery and I agree with the last poster. Focus on your water and start your day with grape juice or part of a 100% juice bar this has helped me. Congrats and I hope this will be our only complication. Lisa H. (Bakersfield, Ca.)

Every time I am able to do a little more, I need the next day to recover. Some nights I am so wiped out I can barely walk up the stairs to go to bed. I think it takes time for the body to adjust again after surgery. I am patiently waiting for all my energy and then some to come back. But for now I listen to my body if I need to rest I do. It'll be nice when my body catches up with my mind which wants to go, go, go. Good luck to you!
