I feel this in my bones, muscles, connective tissues, etc... I had surgeries in July and November of 2022. I really lack patience when it comes to my personal healing. I feel like I had more energy after the bigger surgery in July than the one in November. My surgeon's theory is that I was so happy to have the crappy colon removed I was looking at life through a kaleidoscope of sunshine and rainbows for a while and not dealing with all the physical and emotional pain I'd been through. I've really been dragging since my surgery in November but there were complications. My surgeon told me the day I had the NG tube removed was day 1 of the healing process and everything up to that point was getting me stabilized... I'd been in the hospital about a week at that point. Another part of my fatigue is diet. I don't know how you're doing with getting the nutrients you need everyday but if I was being graded I'd probably be failing or getting a solid D. I struggle with knowing what to eat that will make my body happy and not sick. Even applesauce doesn't want to be my friend right now. I'm at the point I'll give it whatever it wants in that moment-but I had developed an aversion to a lot of foods.
I know the big 4 that are being drilled into me constantly are: hydrate, eat, rest, walk.
6 weeks feels like foreverrrrr right now, but how you're feeling right now will slowly fade away until one day you realize how far you're come.
