Also wondering if it is normal to get tired so easily still? I feel like I should be able to get up and go but find I run out of steam quickly. I was in fairly good health before all of this! [/quote]

If it helps at all, I'm three weeks post not nearly as big a surgery as you've had, and I'm zonked. I find I can do one thing a day, maybe two if I take a nap in between. So I either fold laundry *or* go to the grocery store. I either go have a massage *or* I clean the bathroom.

Things have improved markedly as my intake has improved. I don't know about you, but I lost 20 lbs in the first 20 days after surgery, just because nothing was working very well.

Remember: We're always telling the patients that we transfer out of the ICU that it's going to be a long road, and to be patient. It's our turn to hear that now (darn it). Just keep eating (that's the most important thing) and increasing your activity slowly, like we're always telling other people!
