Staying Tired

I am 12 days post-op is it normal to be tired alot? I am not tired all day, just if I move around and such. thanks in advance

Being tired is just part of it for most. Make sure you are getting rest and make sure you are getting your nutrition. Vitamins, B12 etc are important at your stage of the journey because you aren't eating enough to sustain. Good luck on your journey. Carol

Absolutely! You will be tired for a while, but your body will tell you when to slow down and rest...BUT make sure you are walking, drinking your water and eating your protein. My surgeon believes the quicker you start to get back to a normal routine, the better your healing will be, so try to start with your day-to-day activities as soon as possible and if you need to rest, trust me your body will tell you. I took naps every day for about 5-6 weeks because I HAD to, not because I wanted to. Hang in there Amy

I was not at 100 percent until about 5-6 weeks out. It gets better every day. Hang in there.....

im 6 days post up.... im sleeping 50% of the time... so i would say so...
