SOO tired. When did your energy begin to return. - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

Blvd756 · 08-25-2008, 06:09 PM

So now that the pain has gone away (it's a vague soreness now- yay!), all I feel is fatigue. I am so weak and exhausted and can hardly get through the day! I return to work on Weds and don't even want to walk 3 blocks and back to put my mail in a mail box at the moment (I live in the city).

I am 11 days out. I know everyone is different, but when did you stop feeling so tired, and begin to feel a bit like your old self?

I think I had the slowest recovery on earth. It took me a full 4 weeks to get all my energy back.

YummeeCookee · 08-25-2008, 07:52 PM

I gained energy bit by bit each day. I went back to work at 1 week PO and I was totally drained by the time I got home. I think after those first couple days back in the real world I had gotten used to it.

I started getting my energy back yesterday (7 days) & feeling pretty much back to normal, but I had overs, and the recovery is a bit quicker.

Make sure you're getting plenty of nourishment. If you don't feel like eating, maybe have protein shakes or lots of fruit. And drink lots of water, I got that tip from one of the ladies on here, & I really feel it has made a difference!

Rest if you feel like resting though, your body just may need more. I'm sure after 2 or 3 weeks you'll be fine.

My BA was on 8/8 so I am just a few days ahead of you in the healing process. I went back to work last Monday and spent the entire day wishing I was at home again. I thought it was getting better throughout the week but by Friday I was a complete zombie. I went to bed early that night and slept most of Saturday and a good bit of Sunday. Those naps were fabulous! Now to convince my boss that napping during the day at work is good for productivity! I am trying not to be too hard on myself and each day really has been a little better. We can get through this together!

Thanks for asking hun! I know exactly what you are talking about. My bf and I went to the mall this weekend just so I could get out of the apartment and boy did that kick my ass!! I was so exhausted half way through! I feel great at home and think I have more enery than I really do!

I was mostly tired and sleepy because i was on Percocet. I stop taking them after 1 week and by the 2nd week i was back to normal.

kazzagr · 11-17-2008, 10:36 PM

I was a little tired for the first week but then started to slowly get back into it... a bit of shopping, housework, gentle walk etc. At about two weeks I feel OK now.

I think the tip for me was to start to become active even if I didn't feel like it and then the energy levels gradually returned.

Andrelica · 11-17-2008, 11:40 PM

Im was okey the first week and im like wow, this is easy.. Just taking meds and feeling drowsy after but i can do stuffs myself though my bestfriend helps me to take good care of my kid. But so weird once were back home at 2nd week i felt so weak, exhausted, all the pain and now i have to keep taking the meds.. But im hoping i will be back my old self soon..lol. Just happy with this new boobies! lol.

Blvd756 · 11-18-2008, 01:28 AM

Wow, this is an old thread!!!! I'll report that my energy didn't return until around 5-6 weeks. I was really impatient with that whole aspect of recovery.

kimba · 11-18-2008, 08:36 AM

tattoogrl4ever · 11-18-2008, 09:05 AM
