Anybody tired all the time out there? 23-year-old 9 days post-op.
Hey guys. I'm new at this but I was just wondering if anyone else is tired all the time? I had my full hysterectomy 9 days ago, I've been out nof the hospital exactly one week and I can barely stay awake. When I'm not sleeping I'm in pain which I'm sure is normal, but as soon as I do my light exercise I have to flop (and by flop, I mean lower very slowly with my arms so I don't scream) back onto the bed or couch. I'm 23 and this is my fourth abdominal surgery but this one has really taken the mickey out of me.
Is anybody else this exhausted/in pain? I just want to know if this is normal.
Thanks very much sisters,
- K

Re: Anybody tired all the time out there? 23-year-old 9 days post-op.
Oh sweetie, go back to bed!!
I was exhausted and mostly in bed for the first 4 weeks and then gradually increased what I was doing. I'm now 8 weeks and can do moderate activity compared to normal but still feel exhausted by about 2pm and flop (I can do that now!) into bed for a sleep.
I thought at 35 I was young for this surgery, but 23 is super-young for this so sending you a big
So please, rest rest rest...watch the whole series of 24 or Lost or something like that! and don't get up unless you need the bathroom!!
Lots of love,

Ditto Ripple's comments...at least the first couple of weeks should be majority of the time spent resting. Got to give your body the best opportunity to recover easily. Best wishes!! I am sorry that you are having to go through this at your age.

Thanks so much guys. I think I was trying to take it too fast. I'll relax more.
Believe me, after all the endometriosis, adhesions, follicles, and hemmoraghic ovarian cysts I've been through since I was 17, 23 seems like a long wait for a hysterectomy. Sometimes it stinks, but it really is a blessing.
Thanks a lot!

Just give yourself some time to heal, and soon you will feel like a "normal" 23 year old does. I feel like I have reclaimed my life. Pain and discomfort can really drag you down.
