Tiredness

Can anyone tell me why I am getting tired after I have a shake or a soup? I don't have any pain, just an enormous wave of tiredness.

Today I had:

2 shakes = 500 ml
water  = 1000 ml
2 soup = 3 tbspn

So I am having plenty of fluids. I am not dehydrated.  Have started my multivitamins and having panadol for paid control.  That's it.

It's normal to feel tired at this point.  Your body is going through some rapid changes and healing all at the same time.  You just had major surgery.  You will start feeling better as you heal and your body starts to adjust to the changes.

Jules...that is normal...you are still recovering. Once you can eat more and walk more you will feel better.

Hang in there...hugs...connie d

ditto to both the posts you got. . .  while the surgeries they can perform today are less invasive, they are still surgery, which involves healing and recovering from the effects of anesthia (spelling?). . .

also; the lil bit of carbs in the soup or shake might be making you sleepy-

nap when you can!

Thanks everyone. Just wanted to make sure it was normal. I never had any naps in hospital at all but am finding I need them at home and i am fighting it. My soup is is just pure vegetable soup pureed made with homemade beef stock from bones, carrots, zuccinis, tomatoes, spinach, leek and celery and salt and pepper. I am sure there is something else but that is the base. Cook it, puree it and then freeze to use later and thin it down with more stock to eat now.
