wondering....

I need to know when usually the fatigue will end. I have been SO tired. Is there anything I can do to help. I tried to go back to work last Wed and was so tired about mid day that I thought I was going to pass out right there at my desk. I can't seem to overcome the fatigue and get my big butt moving. Any suggestions???? Shree

Are you getting in enough protein, if not then try eating a little more protein ,that may help. Melissa

I was EXHAUSTED from about week 2 to week 6 or so after my surgery. I guess our bodies are directing all the energy to heal.

it's coming girl...promise. Like the others said, make sure you are getting all your protein and make sure you get all the appropriate vitamins. I was whupped for about a month & a half or so...hang tite.... Tami

Shree, I was the same way and it was because I did not have enough B12, plus we are not getting as much carbs so our energy level is down too. Try getting a B12 shot if you can, it helped alot. D'Lynn 232/229/195 -37

Hi Shree, You and I have the same surgery date. I am returning back to work tomorrow and am dreading it. I am a nurse so I have to be ready to take care of others. I totally understand the fatigue thing. Best of luck in your journey and thank you to all who gave suggestions. Cheers, Janet

I had no energy for the first 6 weeks and then at the end of the 6th week all of a sudden I felt great. So hang in there, it will come. ~Bonnie

I was "weak as dishwater" as my mama used to say ;) for several weeks. I was out of work 6 and I was so thrilled I had the luxury of staying out. I felt I needed it. The first "spell" I had was scary almost...it was like I could hardly put one foot in front of the other one. It passed after a day or so, but I just simply had to go to bed.

It will pass. Make sure you take your vitamins and drink a lot of water that helped me but I was tired for the first 6 months then after awhile I start feeling better just take it slow and do as little as you can.
