Winded

4 days post-op.....I am very winded and get exhausted quite easily. Did anyone experience this and how long will I have to suffer with no energy?

At 4 days post op you are still weak from surgery. Don't push yourself too much. Rest, walk, sip and repeat.

ok thanks...

Hon,it is SURGERY,with a capital S. You might be tired and winded for 6 weeks or more,it is just part of our bodies recoverion from a major intrusion.

Rest relax sip and walk,and repeat. :)
Good luck,
Holly

I'm 3 weeks & change out, and I'm still sloooooowly recovering my energy. Every day is a little bit better, but I still need to rest frequently. I just started pureed stage, so am hoping that REAL food will help things along.

Hang in there.

I was tired but never felt winded If I were you I would call my surgeon or go to the ER. I was tired but never got exhausted easily.

Please be carefull with the shortness of breath - use the spirometer if you got one.  Contact your surgeon if this continues/shows no improvements!

I am a week out today, and I completely hear ya on that tired thing.  Whether I am sitting on the couch, or riding in the car, there are times that I have just doesed off.  A couple days ago I was writing a little card to my brother and I fell asleep doing it.  Andd ays when I am on my feet a lot, its really bad!  lol  :)   But, my mother keeps telling me not to feel bad, cause I just went through surgery, and thats what I keep reminding myself :)
