6 weeks post TAH. (and a couple of days) and i am still weak and tired. I have seen a few others on here that have said the said the same thing. Seems like a long time to feel this way. Had my final dr appt and im cleared to do what ever i am comfertable doing. Forget to mention how tired i feel.

I found the extreme tiredness more surprising than anything else, I wasn't prepared for it at all, especially as otherwise I felt ok by 6 weeks.
I think it lasted about 9 or 10 weeks.
By lunch time every day I was fit for bed again.
I hope you feel better soon.

Yes, it's been 8 or 9 weeks and I agree.

I have my surgery in 60 hours (LAVH with great chance it will turn into TAH). I have been ‘approved ‘ for 6 weeks paid leave (down from the 8 requested but up from the 2 weeks initially authorized).
I have already been told by family members that I better not think about just lying around and sleeping all day. And that just standing at the kitchen sink (doing dishes) can’t be considered the restricted housework. I guess implying I better still do my house ‘work’ even though I’m off from ‘work’ Work. I already hired a cleaning service to clean the whole house tomorrow and then at least twice while I’m recovering (I’d like to recover in a ‘clean’ environment).
The exhaustion is one of the things I’m worrying about as well. I had two surgeries in March and they wiped me out. Thus the preventative measures. And they were both ‘minor’ compared to the Surgery on Wednesday.
I hope you have an understanding family and work environment. I am hoping to get a DR’s note for paid ‘nap time’ during work. Think that will get approved?
Good luck with the rest of your recovery.
