2.5 weeks post hysterectomy: Still tired ?

I'm 2.5 weeks post laparoscopic hysterectomy. I've been feeling good and pretty much back to my old activity level. Today was my husband's first day back to work and I had planned on getting lots of stuff done around the house. I slept well, but woke up exhausted. Is it normal to be tired again after this much time? I'm planning on going back to work next week.

It is strange but I would say yes the exhaustion is normal. Your body has gone through some major physical changes with equally traumatic physiological changes to boot.

I am back to work post op 3+ weeks and I feel like I could sleep for a year! I am exhausted and have no idea why as I have a desk job where I have been sitting for about 7.5 hours.

I don't think your fatigue is out of the ordinary at all as I am dealing with the same. Hang in there and listen to your body!

2.5 weeks really isn't a lot of time when it comes to hysterectomy recovery. Even if it's done laparoscopically, a hysterectomy is still major surgery. Your body needs to do a lot of healing inside afterwards, and that's true even if you've got smaller incisions outside.

Perfectly normal to be exhausted on and off at this point! You will have days where you feel great for a little or even a long while, then boom it just hits you! I went back to work after 4 weeks and for the first week when I got home I crashed on the sofa for the rest of the evening. It gets better, slowly.

Advice: when the exhaustion hits you, don't fight it! If you are at home, get on that couch and lie down for a while. If you are at work, try to take a little break if you can. It will pass.
