One Week Post Op and feeling Very Tired!

l-o I'm one week post op and feel extremely tired. I never had a major surgery before this so is this a normal feeling? I'm doing good have been able to walk around the block a couple of times however now I'm very sore in the upper left stomach area. I think I pulled something since it hurts when I move certain ways. Pain from surgery hasn't been bad at all, I haven't had to take the pain meds sent home with me, just been taking adult liquid tylenol when I start to feel uncomfortable. Just got back from a short morning walk so now I think I'm going to rest a little and try to get some things done later on.

Hi Loretta, I haven't had my WLS yet, but I have had plenty of other surgeries. It is very normal to be tired after a major surgery like this. Your body has been through alot in the last week and it needs lots of TLC right now. Take it easy and get lots of rest. Everyday post-op it should get a little easier for you. Don't push yourself. Take care, Mary Ann

Hi Loretta, Congrats on your surgery. I'm sorry you are having some soreness, but it will go away. In the beginning, I had to force myself to stand up straight because it was so sore. I know what you mean by tired. Get plenty of rest, your body needs it. I wish you continued success in your recovery!!!!!

Loretta- I know I'm late on this, but you can expect to be wiped out feeling for awhile now. You will regain your energy, but expect that energy to wane for a couple months. It gets better gradually, but I still had a few days here and there 2.5 to 3 months out. Totally normal! Dina
