How long does it take to get your energy back?
I am almost 7 weeks post op and I am finding I still get so tired and I have absolutely no energy. How long can I expect to feel this way? My blood has been checked and I'm not anemic, so that's not the problem. Has or is anyone else having this problem?

For me, it was about week 13 that my body finally felt like being more active. It does get better. Take care.

Re: How long does it take to get your energy back?
berbs 19, I had surgery same day as you and we are the same age. I also have the same question I was so tired before surgery and was hoping it would be the answer. Just a little or two.I've been on the treadmill and eating healthy for once in my life, thats not working either so if someone out there has the answer let us know!

Re: How long does it take to get your energy back?
I compare it to having a hole in my gas tank. I feel great to start but run out of steam much, much faster. My doctor said the energy issue has more to do with the fibroids draining my system before surgery. I can see the increase in my energy since the first day post op, but I am not back to myself yet. Here's hoping.

About 6 months post op I felt I had some energy, a year later I have a lot more than I did pre-hysterectomy but not as much as I had 20 years ago !

Re: How long does it take to get your energy back?
Hi ya everybody~
Interesting the Doc said about the fibroids, Latebloomer...
"...My doctor said the energy issue has more to do with the fibroids draining my system before surgery... ''
I can feel my energy getting a little better. If I over due there will be a bit of spotting...
If we make an effort to eat right, fruits, vegs etc and lots of Water... and little walks, it should help.
We just got to be consistant...
For sure I'm gonna drink more water because I am clogged today.
Uuuugghh... where's my Ducolax????
