When will my energy return

I'm sure that coffee should be on prescription

Its the only thing that wakes me up in the morning. I only have 2 or 3 a day

Milky coffee is coffee with loads of milk or made just using hot milk instead of water

AND they are yummy yummy yummy. I make mine in a large mug which holds about 3/4 of a pint and put it in the microwave four two and a half minutes, two spoonfuls of coffee and one sweetner. I think I will have to go and make one now.

im so worried about the tiredness thing, i really cant be tired in my job

It's something that bothers me too. I have 3 children ages 6, 4 & 2, and I run a toddler group for 0-5yr olds. That's on top of my cake decorating and little cleaning job! I'll have to live on pro-plus!

I got my energy back quickly after my op, and had lots more than before. However, I've been back at work for 3 weeks now and get absolutely shattered in the afternoons. One day I had to have a quick lunch time nap! I'm sleeping better than before my op. I go to bed a lot earlier, and get up earlier too. I'm in a new job and don't stop for lunch most days as it's manic , but boy am I tired. In the last couple of days my capacity for eating has gone up. I'm probably a six tablespoon a meal girl now-but only if its very soft. On Monday I start on 'normal' food, which right now sounds terrifiying! As I struggle with the 'lumpy' bit of soft and lumpy I'm worried my intake will drop again next week, and this big girl still needs fuelling !!

I'm 4 days post op, and feel drained of energy, and I know that this it to be expected so early in the game. However, I'm feeling slightly more capable each day

Now, about tea and coffee . . .

Myself and another lady on my ward at Derby were both told we could drink tea just 1 day out. Have tried milky coffee, but think I might have tried it too soon as drinking it brought me out in a sweat However, we keep some decaff in, for my son when he visits, so I might have some of that next time I try it. xx
