10 DAYS POST-OP AND VERY TIRED???

I am on puree food for 8 weeks, food is going down ok only if I REMEMBER TO EAT S L O W, but truthfully how do you eat 2-3 oz of puree food slow????? Also I am taking 2 multivitiman (chewable) 1-B12, and drinking 2-1 cup PRO-BLEND55 mixed with water everyday to get in my protein.(after second day of protien drink with skimilk and I had diarrhea severly I found possiable lactose,so I switch to water to mix the protien) However I just feel very tired or weak still. example I went to get my nails done yesterday. I have a slipt level so I havent been down the step until then. and for me to walk about 20feet to car and get in OH MY GOSH, I was totally wiped out. Went ahead and got nails done, came home and had a really bad headache had to take pain med and lay down on the couch I was totally wiped out. (getting in and out of the car was not pleasant either the pain in my stomach) This mornong I was going to go for a walk outside once I got my shower and dressed, wiped out again, I waited alittle while 1-2 hr than I went down and had mom to help put my shoes on and I was wiped out again. mom said maybe I need to wait until I am little strong. How much longer is it going to take to get stronger?????. I see alot of people here that bounce back soon . Whats wrong with me. I do go back to the Dr friday to have my staples removed, just wondering if any of you felt this way. Thanks>>>LOL Jay Biller
