Oh this just sucks! Why am I so weak and tired?

and depressed! OMG!  I can't stop crying.  I am 2 weeks out today and feeling really bad.  Not in pain so much (thank God) but just a general feeling of blah like I am getting over the flu.  How long does this usually last?   I just got advanced to my "mushie" stage yesterday and I'm hoping the variety of food helps. 

Hi! I too am 2 weeks out. I am not in too much pain, just my left side a little. Last week I felt like I was getting over the flu. I would say listen to your body. Rest, sleep. I take atleast 1 nap a day because I get tired easily too. Our body went thru alot and needs lots of recoup time. I have cried here and there, especially when my family is eating normal food and I am not. Im not interested in food but man it smells good and I miss chewing lol. I hope when I go in tomorrow for my 2 week check up I will be able to move up to mushie foods :) Keep your chin up and remember it will get better!

I think what you are going through is pretty typical - work your way through it with rest - a hobby - keep busy and it WILL get better - you've been / and are going through a big physical change and your emotions are trying to catch up !!! Vent here if you need to  - cry - what ever it takes let it out and know that is will pass. Hang in there !

Yup... You are normal...lol   Been there done that... It happens it will pass give it some time...  Just rest rest and walk walk walk.....   Keep us posted! 

NORMAL!  Just keep doing what you are supposed to and you WILL get through it.  Those first few weeks are tough, but you will feel great in no time!  Hang in there!

I am approaching 3 weeks, and i went though the same thing. I am starting to realize that as long as i keep pushing forward by walking and taking all my supplements i generally feel better  and better with each passing day. Hang in there.

Anesthesia really does a number on alot of people.  I haven't had my surgery yet, but had anesthesia last year for hand surgery.  It took almost 3 weeks until I felt like myself.  Everything you described.  Have you been taking enough B12?  I  can tell when I forget to take it.

Hope you're up to your old self soon.  One day at a time.
Good Luck

Totally normal!! Just take it one day at a time, dont try to push yourself too far, you had major surgery and it takes awhile to feel back to yourself.  I had a good day of crying myself and couldnt explain to the hubby why I was sobbing uncontrollably. We have all be there my dear and are here for your support.

Call me if you need anything

I had a break down in the supermarket at around 2 or 3 weeks out because I was too tired to walk around and pushing the cart was OUT of the question. 

You're normal, and it gets better.  Just keep napping and sipping!
