Energy

I had my abdominal hysterectomy 8/18/10. When will I start getting my energy back and not feel like I need to rest so much?

You are still early in your recovery. I am 2 months postop and still have very little energy. Give your body time to heal.

Hang in there! You will probably find you have good and bad days. Just don't over do it on the good ones or the bad days last longer. I am just starting to get to the point where I don't need to lay down during the day. I still sit often, but don't need that "stretching out" like I used to. My energy is not 100% yet but slowly creeping back up there.

I am 3 weeks post-op and am starting to have more energy, though I go to bed at about 9 every night. Hang in there!
