Norm

I am 4 days after surgery. I am not hungry and have no gripes but one. I am so weak that I can barely go up my steps. I am exhausted after a short walk. Is this normal, and if so, when does it go away?

hi norm congrats on your surgery. im sorry u feel so weak. are u drinking your water and getting in some protein drinks?? if this continues you should call your doctor asap. if you get dehyrdated your system will feel real weak, so be certain you are sipping all day. if all else is under control, each day u should start to feel a little stronger. good luck, hugs, jacki

Yes I am drinking at least 48 oz. of water daily. I am on clear liquids for another 3 days. I don't think that I am consuming enough calories on the clear liquids. Maybe it will get better.
