Fatigue for many, many reasons is common after any major surgery. Added to your body's need to heal and "re-route" calories, you are a bit behind in nutrition and low on blood (we are all anemic at this point)...
Expect fatigue for 4-6 weeks after your operation. This is the norm.
All of this is of course dependent on your conditioning, or deconditioning that you came into surgery with.
Remember, recovery isn't a race. You will get better as your body heals. There's very little that you can do outside of good nutrition and activity to try to hasten this.
Good luck,
Bill
