I felt pretty weak for the first month.  But it will go away and you should try to walk a little bit everyday.  You also need to make sure you are sipping all day and eating/liquid food what you can through out the day to keep your strength up.  You body is adjusting to the amount of food and lower sugar.  I walked a little bit and then 6 weeks I was given the clearance to go to the gym.  Good luck and take it easy.

Travis, I've been walking since about 4 hours after surgery and the doctor told me to keep walking steadily increasing pace and distance. I think you'd feel MUCH better if you walked. I know it makes me feel better.

it takes about a month to feel perkier. you had surgery!! all surgery does this to you, the anestheisa etc. takes a bite out of you. Sip, walk, sip , walk....you will feel better
