fatigue?

i'm schedued for a TAH on sept 12th - endo & adno - for the past two years in particular, i have been SOOO tired all the time. no energy to do the simpliest of things- i feel like a lazy person, but i just don't have any energy... i just plod thru each day, but with 2 young ones its tough...has anyone else experienced the same thing? will it be better post-surgery?

Hi Jos,

I'm sorry you are feeling so wore out. That is very common. Have they tested for anemia? Loss of blood in large amounts especially tends to make you very tired and lethargic. It did me anyways.

As for post-op fatigue. I am at 6 weeks po and still feel tired at times. Nothing like I did before though. I am gradually building my energy and stamina up. I still take a little afternoon snooze at times.

I wish you all the best.
Blessings,
Sassy

I could have written this post.....it sounds just like I feel. I am thankful that my doctor's took the time to investigate my fatigue and anemia. I feel as though my young children have not had the best mommy they could have because I so often come home from work (kindergarten teacher) and need to nap for an hour or so before I start dinner. I am sooooooooooooooo tired all the time. I am having surgery 8/11 and can't wait to have more energy. The anemia has to stop!!

Keep reading the posts here as there are many beautiful women who have walked in our shoes and now talk of a whole new world out there.

Good luck with your surgery!
