I was also weak as a kitten for a few months post Tx and I would start to fade in the early pm. I also had thyroid problems but they weren't discovered until around my 5th month post. I didn't start riding with any conviction until my 8th month post Tx and even then it was tough getting back up to speed so to speak.
Give your body the time it needs to recover from this horrific experience. It will get better but it does typically take many many months so don't get down on yourself...you're totally normal.
