Should I still feel fatigued after 6 weeks?

I am 51 years old. I am almost 6 weeks since lap RNY and I am still so tired. Had some complications after surgery and was advised I could go back to work on Feb 24. I consume about 60 ozs of water per day with two 23.7 fl ozs of Propel a day for water and I use one Real Meals per day which is 60 grams of protein plus other protein and some carbs. I haven't been able to walk much because of a torn menicus in my knee. I started going to a pool exercise class on Friday and today I was exausted when I got home. I feel like I should be feeling better by now. I have healed up well. I am self-employed and it's been very hard for me to get anything done. I've lost 32 pounds so far. Has anyone else had a problem with getting enough energy to get back to work? My mind says I'm just being lazy but my body says, I'm still recovering. Any ideas?
