Still weak

Hello everybody. I made the 4 hour roung trip yesterday to get my staples out. It does feel better without them. I'm still weak and have no energy but they say it will come but it is driving me nuts not to be able to do the things I've always done.  I don't feel like sitting at the keyboard for very long so forgive me for not answering .

Birdy, you are in our thoughts and prayers!  You are a special person among many here on the boards

We'll let you take it easy a bit longer as long as you continue to pop in like this with a short update. Glad to hear you are feeling a little bit better. The energy level will come just give it time. All of us have the low energy post-op. You just got hit harder than most of us. Take care of yourself sweetie. You'll be back on your feet in no time, then you will be the one dragging hubby out the door for your walks!! LOL Susan

Glad you feel a little better. Ellen

Hi Lee Lee. I am happy to hear from you. Take it easy and slow. It will take some time to get your energy back - at least it did for me. For the first 5 weeks after surgery I could not even take a shower and wash my hair without collapsing and shaking. But it will get better so hang in there. Make sure you  are sipping a lot and trying to get in as much protein and fluid as you can. You have just gone through a lot and your body needs time to heal and recouperate. I know it is frustrating because we have it in our minds that we are having this surgery to feel better and have MORE energy and then you find out that you have no energy for a while and can do less than before surgery and it takes a toll on your mentally but just hang in there. Keep us updated on how you are doing!

Good to hear from you Lee Lee. Just take care of yourself and get plenty if rest. Your energy will return in time so be patient.

Keeping you in my prayers. Get well soon.Cheryl

Sweetie, just take it slow, we understand, you have been through alot. Hugs Barb
