Exhaustion
Hi Sleevers,
So I am 5 days post op today and feel more exhausted today than I did on days 3 and 4. Is this just my body adjusting? Its only 10 AM where I live and I am ready for a nap but dont want to get in a habit of napping.
Had a hard time getting in the protein yesterday so I suppose that could be it as well. All thoughts are welcome. Thanks!

You will definitely need those naps. At first I found out the hard way and tried to be superwoman when I got home because I felt so good. I soon realized that I needed to rest. I had to take a nap everyday around that same time everyday. I would sleep about 3 hours. It was great. Since I am going back to work on Monday I tried to cut back on them this week. Your body needs to heal. Take it easy.
Yes it's normal and it's your body's way of healing. I agree that it seems the more days that go by I also seem to be more tired than earlier. I am on day 9 post op and doing the littlest task takes alot out of me. But my suggestion is to take full advantage of the recovery time ...including naps....because before we know it we will be back to the daily grind of our lives.
