Energy or should I say lack there of..

It amazes me how just the littlest tasks right now feel like they take so much out of me.. I just started day 3 about an hour ago I don't feel as awful as I did this morning but even just taking a shower and drying my hair took everything out of me, ugh! Anyone know how long this may go on for?

Thanks for your responses! I am looking forward to my own natural energy. At first those little devils made me feel like superwoman but then overtime I found myself nodding off at work and not doing anything like I used to! I will for sure continue to drink my protein shakes with the amino acids like you suggested NoMoreHydro. Thanks again all!!

I Definately have more energy days than not! On my not energy days, I just try to make sure to accomplish something! Whether it be a load of laundry, or watering my outside plants or cleaning a bathroom! Just get something done! It makes me feel better plus it tends to give me some energy!  I always feel worse when I just lay around and think!

The energy will return in time.  Make sure to drink your Amino Acid Protein Shake every morning. This will help dramatically.  Keep up the great work!

Hi,lack of natural energy does take a little time to come back.Each day will get a bit better,keep hydrated,a little exercise,energy shakes.Day 3 is early in your recovery but keep on doing all the right things and you will notice gradual improvements.For me after about 6 to 7 days my energy levels were way better than 3 and 4.Your doing great,your nearly over the worst physical aspect.Life will be so much better that is a promise.Take care

Hi Now!  I still have days with little energy! Like today, for example! It's kinda like sleep, it comes & goes! You should start getting more energy day by day! I'm now on day 24 or so, and some days I still have low energy & feel sluggish! I do drink some high protein Ensure shakes and they really do seem to help! Hang in there honey, you are doing so well!  You should notice a big difference tomorrow!
