Tired alot

im 13 days out. My recovery has been smooth so I can't complain! When does your energy levels come back? I'm still tired all the time.

About a month and a half for me.

It gets better everyday.  For me I noticed my energy back to normal at about 3 months.  

Wow it can take that long!

It is a big surgery.  It will get better.  Just give your body a chance to heal.  We are all different.  Maybe it will be much faster for you.

It was about 3 weeks to a month for me. And it was frustrating, but you just ride it out!

I got some energy back at 4 weeks. But right around 2 months I got so much energy people were telling me to slow down! I feel fantastic now and I'm 3 months out. I remember feeling pretty tired the first couple weeks after surgery. I'd run some short little errands with my husband and would come back home and just rest. I'd be so tired from the outing. It does get better day by day. Make sure you take your vitamins and drink plenty of water.

about 6 weeks for most of the healing and for you to be eating  food (depending on your plan )

takes about 2 weeks to get all the drugs out of your system and you will be less tired then

make shore your geting all your fluids in and try to get most of your protien in , stay on plan

I was tired for a long time, but I was also 64 when I had my surgery, so that may have contributed.  I found I need to take long naps every day for a few months.  It did get better over time and my energy is much better now than before surgery.  Hang in there.  Its worth it.

You've had a major surgery - give yourself some time. 

First of all - make sure you're getting enough fluids (64oz minimum).  Dehydration causes fatigue.

If you're fine on fluids - then you just wait.  It was a good 5-6 weeks before I started feeling like myself again.
