Any post op girls feel completely knackered all the time?

I stopped taking my painkillers on Saturday night incase it was them but I just feel tired all of the time and I’m sleeping loads. 6 days post op.

I was for the first week hun think its the after effects of the general xx

Hey hun, how you doing? are you sleeping ok on a night? if your restless through the night you will feel more tired through the day, im sleeping great upright and got loads of energy through the day, maybe it could be the anti-biotics im sure it’s a side affect, you’l be fininshed them by tommorow night wont you? xx

Meeeeeee. I sleep like a baby at night then sleep during day. My bodies way of recovering!! Lol. I sleep alot when im ill too xx

I always wake up at 3am with pain right around my chest and back, like I’m being crushed. I’ve tried lying flat, tried lying elevated, nothing seems to stop it. So I always get up for half an hour till its gone and then go back to bed. And it’s only a matter of a couple of hours later that it happens again. Yet if I sleep during the day it doesn’t seem to happen. x

Give yourself time, you’ve been through qhuite a major surgery and your body needs the energy for healing.

Just eat well and rest when you need to x

Thanks Ros! I’ve just had a whopping salad sandwich and a HUGE bit of cake (don’t think that’s quite what you meant by eating well) and I’m off to bed now for a lovely afternoon nap. x

Hi lisa I feel drained all time 2 I stped takin pain killers saturday sleep well at nyte n have a nap in day then another early nyt think its part of da healing process x

i feel same girls, just tired and ive not had painkillers yet.

OMG poppy08 still no painkillers thats great

yea riggers, only thing i walk too slow, went to town earlier to get some shoping couldnt keep up with me hub. i was walking like how u take a walk in the park watching little kids play, i think cos im being too cautious as well

That’s far too healthy a meal! lol

I think you need the calories whilst healing, i know i did, ate like a horse and didn’t gain a thing!

Yes, first week and a half.. Was bad.. Didn’t do much but slept!.. Haha

Glad I’m not the only one then. I’m one week post op now and feel like I’m not making much progress at all. There’s no way I’d be able to drive either. Get my strapping off today, yay!! Hopefully that will make me feel less restricted and more human. x

I cnt get my strapin off til thursday grr so anoying I cnt wait 4 a proper bath x

To be honest, the strapping has only just started bothering me. I have been quite thankful for the support its given me and its been easier to have a bath without worrying about getting scars wet – double protection. But definately ready to get it all off now and seem them in full. Then I’m going to get fake tanned up to the hilt, get my nails done, go out shopping for tight tshirts! x

Lol sounds like a plan I cnt wait to see my twins in ful x

I stop takin my painkillers tomorrow so i doubt ill be as tired as i have been! I even fell asleep at 8pm the other night…8pm can u believe it!!!!! Lol x
