There's no need to rush.  Some people gain weight due to all the fluids they had pumped into them, so if you can hold off then do as you don't want to make yourself feel down if it turns out your weight is up.

All the best for a speedy recovery.

It'll easily take a month if not longer.  Just the anesthetic is enough to make you feel tired at this point without taking into consideration that you had major surgery and you're barely eating.

Take it easy, rest, sip and walk.  Be grateful that you wake up feeling good and get some naps in so you get more opportunities to wake up feeling good. kiss

It will take some time BUT you should be feeling a little better every day. At a week I still felt pretty awful... By week 3 I was doing well and by week 6 I felt 100 normal! Good luck!

The first couple weeks I got tired like that. I took a lot of naps. You should start seeing a difference in your stamina after the first couple of weeks. At least I ws past the naps by then.

It' was about 6 weeks before I started feeling normal again.  I was extremely listless during my perfect recovery.  Take it easy - drink lots, for it's a full-time job.
