9 weeks out and still tired?
Are you getting enough protein? Enough fluids? Taking your vitamins?
You might wanna get your iron and B12 checked.

I will have those checked. I have been drinking water like crazy since last week when I had to go get IV fluids. I am getting around 70 grams of protein on most days. I am good about my vitamins. Is it not very common for people to still be tired this far out?

It's not unusual. I think in many cases, it's at least in part due to those three things, though - fluids, protein and/or vitamins. I know it does take a long to to recover from major surgery, though.

i since our dr only does labs wor****il the fourth month you should consider going to your regular dr and have him do the tests.. im thinking of doing that once i hit 12 weeks. im only at 7 im also thinking of asking my dr to put in in b12 shots.. i used to give myself insulin shots when i was pregnant so it doesnt bother me much..
