8 weeks post op - tired

Hi ladies,

I am almost 8 weeks SAH post op and started back to work after 6 weeks (last week), half days and this week is supposed to be for 6 hours. Today is my second day at 6 hours and had to leave after 3. I felt really tired, a bit light headed and emotional. When I told my boss I was leaving i cried, blamed it on hormones! I took a rest in our first aid room hoping that would help, but I become more anxious. Went home and slept. I've been doing well with pain but inside belly feels "heavy". Was hoping to hear some experiences people have had around the 8 week mark, just wondering if I am used to not working (am I lazy) or is this fatigue because of the surgery and do I need to do more exercise to build up stamina.
Thank you

You are not lazy and you had major surgery.
I had my 6 week appt and I told my dr that I was exhausted at the end of the day. I am working 20 hrs a week. She told me that my body is healing well but reminded me that I had major surgery even though it was laproscopic. She did not release me to work full time for another 2 weeks and not to lift more than 15lbs.
Take care of youself and relax on the weekends.

I'm at 9 weeks and still get tired at the end of the day. Some days more than others depending on my activity level. I have slowly increases my exercise over the past month and think that's helped. I just keep plugging along even though I get frustrated. Some of us take longer to heal. Take care of yourself and listen to your body. Only you know when you need to rest.

Thanks you ladies, good to know it's normal to experience the fatigue, it's so helpful knowing others understand.
