Hey Jilly. Me too, every couple of days I just feel really low for no reason as everything going well. Also I tire very easily ie just a short walk or hoover the flat which isn't big and I just collapse in the chair.
I did read that this happens before I had op so think we are both normal lol

Jillypops yes sorry but feeling tearful is normal I'm 10 weeks and I sometimes feel l shattered both physically and mentally. We have had major surgery our bodies are healing, which takes a lot

Thankyou - glad not only one - you're right, we have all gone through a lot. I'm usually fit and active so guess bit frustrated. 😊

So far for me I'm the same way. Depressed big time! I cant go to work with the guys leaving out my window every day. My house is my shop for the company. I feel totally down on my self as I need help with everything! Also at 2.5 weeks, I am set back from doing to much to soon. And that has me absolutely miserable! I hate trying to plan my trips from bed, to toilet,shower and sink, in the shortest path possible!
Hang in there with us all. And stay on the site. It has really helped me pass the time.

Must be really hard for you Chuck - seeing worklife going on around you - i guess like others have said, we should look after ourselves as we have had big trauma to our bodies and it won't be like this forever - better for us in long run too. Hope all goes well for you. 😊

Me too, even after 12 weeks, although not as often, but definitely have down 😢 days for no reason. Keep on this site, it has helped me, you end up feeling like everyone on here is a friend - especially in the middle of the night
