I am 11 months post Tx and my energy levels are quite normal now. I lost 60 lbs during Tx and my fatigue level shot through the roof. The sooner I started eating regular foods, the quicker my energy came back. I also worked out some to regain my upper body strength. I have not regained 35 lbs and I am grateful for that. Last Saturday night I played a 4 hour gig with a band, hauled all of my equipment in and out (I play the bass and have the heaviest amp) and felt great the entire night. It was a slow process. I still pace myself a little more than I did post Tx. Be patient, you'll get there.
