TIRED

HI, I AM 11 DAYS POST OP AND I AM SO TIRED,, ANY SUGGESTIONS ON THIS.. I AM GETTING 70 GRAMS OF PROTEIN, B12 DROPS, 2 MULTIVITAMINS,2 TUMS FOR PROTEIN.. HELP! THANKS VICKI

Vicki, I was more tired the second week than I was the first, as well. It is important to get all your fluids in and try to get in as much protein as possible. Your body is recovering from MAJOR surgery, you should be tired. Good Luck and God Bless TTFN Jackie G

How are you managing to get that much protein in? I am tired also and I don't take any of the things you have mentioned.

I wonder that, too...I'm 10 days out and can't possibly get it all in. I am sooo stuffed and everything smells horrid, and I've been vomiting when i try too much. (over one ounce...) help! Cathy rny 6/25/04

Hi there, I am 2 weeks post op and there were days during the past week that I literaly felt like I was walking through water. I was so exhausted. My dr. is super strict and has his patients on broth, jello, popsicles and water for the first 2 weeks and no vitamins. Finally I started food (cottage cheese, scrambled egg, etc.) on Monday and chewable vitamins, and the difference is amazing. I have energy again! Also remember that our bodies have been through major trauma!!! Even though you may not be in pain, things are still healing inside. It will get better! Marjorie RNY 6/21/04 -21 lbs. (woo hoo!)
