After surgery fatigue

I had my surgery the 13th, too! Last night was the first time I felt fatigue since the first three days. I went back to work the 20th. I think staying on my schedule helped a great deal and walking was a plus, too. I walked 2 1/2 miles in the hospital, so walking is my 'thing', lol. I do 1 1/2 miles a day now plus riding my bike. Have you tried stepping up your exercise? That might energize you a bit.

Oi, fatigue.  I can't even shower without needing a rest.  It takes me like two hours to get showered, dressed, hair/makeup done, and go.  I used to be a 30 minute out the door kinda gal.  I decided to shave my legs the other day and my abs felt like I'd done a million crunches for a few days.  I'm frustrated by the lack of energy/strength.   I hope you see the energy benefits of your efforts soon.  

Its getting a little bettee but dang this part is for the birds!!! I feel great otherwise but I just keep pushing through it. My kiddos and work demand so!!! Better non tired days are ahead for us!!

Good to see all these posts and know that the fatigue is a normal part of the recovery. I also had my surgery on May 13th and have had no complications other than the normal pains. I did not think I would ever be able to bend over to my left side again without excruciating pain but everyday gets better. Probably did not help that I returned to working one week after surgery. That was tough. I could barely get my shoes on! But the fatigue oh the fatigue is still hanging in there and I am normally a very active person. This is killing me. I am contemplating a nap right now but have a million and one things I need to do instead! I have been trying to get my proper amounts of protein, it seems to help some but not nearly enough. Come on magical week 5 I need to feel like myself again!!
