I ditto everyone else.  It is so very frustrating when you feel so tired.  I felt so excited about having the surgery, but sad at the same time because I just couldn't get my body in gear.

It DOES get better. :)

You said you've had your period since the day you left the hospital.  That's a long time.  Make sure you are taking enough iron.  I'm preop but I think I saw it come in chewable.  If not there's black strap molasses which is loaded with natural iron.  I'd get the gentle iron.
