is this "normal"?

i just got home from the hospital yesterday.  im not feeling nauseous or any pain, but i am SOOOO TIRED!  i just feel weak.  im thinking its just the surgery, anesthesia, drastic cut in calories, etc.... but i just wanted to check in and ask yall.

Yes it's normal or it was for me for about a month. Congrats!

It took me 2 months to get my strength back . I actualy started going to bed early for once and stall do it.

uuggghhh..... that sucks.  guess i will have to just deal with it for a while.  thanks yall for your responses.  at least i know its somewhat normal.

Libby,
Congratulations on your surgery.
Your body has just under gone major surgery and needs time to adjust.
Also you calorie intake is not what you are used to having this is one main reasin why you need to work on protein.
Protein will help you get strong again.
Take time and heal and learn how to live with your new pouch.

thank you annie.  im working on it!

It's nice to hear that you are not in any pain or having nausea. I guess those are a couple of my fears. I am having my surgery Sept 17th. I hope you get to feeling stronger soon.

jackie, i really am feeling pretty good!  i was scared of the nausea and pain as well... but so far, so good!  im actually feeling better today than i did yesterday.  im hoping that continues... one day at a time!
now, if i could just get this glue off my skin from all the tape they put on me, i would be doing even better! LOL!

Hi! I felt the same way! I was literally drained, but it will get better! You will be amazed on how much energy you will have!

Just wait! I was only out of work for one week and it won't be long and you will be fine. I have MUCH MORE energy than I know what to do with now.

Hang in there and try to drink the YUCKY protein!
