Hi Dora and congratulations on your surgery. I was physically tired for about a month after surgery, my doctor assured me that healing just takes a lot out of you. Then you have the double whammy of significantly reducing your calorie consumption. So your exhaustion is pretty normal at this stage.

My concern would be the motion sickness, are you getting your 64 ounces of fluids daily? Dehydration can take a toll on you and cause some real issues.

I would definitely call your surgeon and/or nutritionist to get their advice on this. Good luck and please keep us posted!

Yes Dora get plenty of fluids you do not want to end up in the hospital from being dehydrated. I know because it happened to me . And as Brenda says you do get tired after a while because you’re still recovering from the surgery so take it easy and keep us posted
