PreOp Fatigue

I am sooooo tired. It is all I can do right now to get through the work day. My surgeon's PA said this is normal, since I am taking in about 1/3 of calories I was before my preop diet. Also, I had to stop my multivitamins on Sunday as my surgery is next Monday. Add to that I am now caffeine free. Yesterday after work I went home and took a 2 hour nap. Any suggestions to combat this fatigue?

    Hi Theresa,
    I'm on my pre-op diet too and I'm exhausted. It really caught up with me today (Day 3). I have to go away this weekend - a 5 hour drive - and I'm wondering if I should postpone the trip.
    My surgery is 7/8. Sounds like you're one week ahead of me. Best of luck with the surgery and the rest of the pre-op stuff.

    Both of you are normal! Make sure you get in your water and push yourself to do some exercise. You will probably feel this way for a couple of months after your surgery, but it does get better! Once your body adjusts to all the changes, things get back to normal.
    Good luck!!
