5 weeks post-op and can't concentrate

I am having issues with my ability to concentrate. I am not taking any pain medication anymore and I thought the "hazy" feelings were from the meds. I need to read something several times before I get it and I have trouble understanding conversations with people. Has anyone experienced this before?

I'm not sure what kind of surgery you had, ovaries taken, left? Hormones can cause these things. I have a hard time concentrating and forget things a lot - it's my hormones, they are nuts right now and it's common for you to feel a little foggy. I'd tell your doctor if you are really worried and it's extreame.

Im at almost 2weeks post op and have a hard time concentrating only take pain meds when absolutly need them. Its really frustrating cause Im in school(on break) and really want to go back to studying. Hopefully it will pass

Yes, I did notice an inability to concentrate & I'm way more forgetful since my surgery. For awhile I couldn't even sit down to read a book,which is rare for me, as I love to read. That part has come back, but I'm almost 12 weeks post-op now, but I still notice that I'm way more forgetful than before the surgery. Our bodies are still shocked & adjusting to everything, it's takes a long time before our bodies & minds go back to normal.

I hear yeah. I wanted to use this time off to make jewelry, but I can't seem get motivated. Part of it is that I can't get my sleeping schedule back on track. Just have to give myself time.

I have had to start writing everything down day by day that either I or my family need to do, since I can`t seem to remember ANYTHING....

My husband had to drive our daughter into a sporting event yesterday and I totally forgot that I had told her coach he could catch a ride with them. He called about an hour before they were supposed to leave to confirm that he was getting a lift with them, and I felt like an idiot. Hopefully my memory will return before I go back to work or I will be in big trouble

Thank you so much for the responses!! It is good to know I am not alone in this issue! I will talk to my Dr at my 6 week visit...there are many changes occurring and there is real comfort in knowing that there are many others who are experiencing the same things!
