When did you get your energy back after surgery?
I'm 2 weeks post op and while I'm finally starting to feel like I'm going to survive and be human again I'm finding that I have decreased energy, I do a load of laundry and have to sit down and recover. At this point I can't even imagine going for walks outside or trying to attempt any other forms of exercise. How long before you guys found you were back to your normal energy levels?
I felt exactly like that for about 4 weeks but after the 4th week I began to feel like myself again. I am 7 weeks out now and I 100% myself. It just takes some time and be willing to give it to yourself. You have just had your innards rearranged for goodness sake. Cut yourself some slack.

Thanks for posting this.. I've been wondering the same thing. I am two weeks out today and I am SO tired. For me anyway, I went to the doctor today and then shopping for a couple hours and I came home and felt like I was going to fall asleep before I could even sit down! IM SOOO TIRED. I know alot of it is my body healing....and alot of it is only getting 500 or so calories a day doesnt help alot with energy. I HOPE IT GETS BETTER SOON!

You are not alone. I'm about 7 weeks out and have been back at work for about 3.5 weeks. I still find myself getting tired really early. And at two weeks, forget about it. I wasn't even thinking about doing laundry. So, I really admire you. It will take some time, but it will gradually get better. And as the weight comes off, I think you'll find your energy levels increasing. I'm not 100% there, but I feel pretty close.
Good luck.
