I would get up to go to the washroom, walk downstairs to get some more water, then fall into bed exhausted. It's normal and I think being accepting of this and giving yourself a break is positive behaviour. When we expect more of ourselves - right away, we feel like we're failing (been there, done that). You will be healing for a long time and now 7 weeks out, I still find that I'm done at the end of the day.
Keep taking your stool softeners. I'm still abit constipated and only go about every two days. I keep forgetting to buy Restoralax until my body reminds me (lol).
Now go to sleep!

Glad everything went well. That's great weight loss. I couldn't get below 300 before surgery, but I am now, and its was a nice feeling to be in the 200s.
Take it easy and get some rest.
Speedy recovery!!
Take care.
