third week tiredness

Hi all September Surgerys, After the first difficlt week, I seemed to s pring back on the second week with great weight loss, walking and improving energy. Now I find this third week I am back to taking 2 naps a day instead of one and I am dragging. Surgeon warned me this would be the case till I get to soft foods in another week and a half. Any of you experience this? Are you having more energy at a month or 5 weeks out? Jane L.

i havent had that yet... my first few days though i was sleepen all the time i dont feel like i have a ton of energy but i do force myself to get out everyday and do something even if its just to go to a store and lollygag around a bit..even though i find that if i get bored i wanna sleep but i think thats all in my head cause im bored..heher ya getting your vitamins and protien in ya that might be part of the reason.. dont know though..hope all gets better with ya

I haven't really been too tired; in fact, I can barely sleep. I feel like I need to, but can't. I hope you feel better!

Hi Jane - I DEFINITELY had the third week tiredness. I'm really glad that I didn't try to rush back to work. I'm in my 5th week and I'm feeling really good now - have above average energy.. lots more than I did pre-op anyway. Take those naps and take it easy. You'll be feeling much more peppy soon!

Thanks so much for your post. You are about 2 weeis ahead of me so it helps to hear your perspective. Jane
