Unhappy Surgery On Monday The 13th Feeling Very Tired Is That Normal

HI All. My surgery went real well only took a little over an hour. came home on tuesday, had a lot of the so called gas pains on tuesday. Wed I felt great did three loads of laundry and kept the kitchen straight. My oldest daughter is home for spring break from college, and her and her sister and leave a trail where ever they go in the house teenagers you know. So maybe I am trying to hard to keep the house neat. But thats my hang up clean house. can't stand clutter. did the same on thursday. Today is Friday and I woke up feeling like crap. did I push myself to hard? I am so tired. it feels like a freight train rumbling thru my gut. Lots of girgling is that normal. I am up to 4 protein shakes per day and about 30 to 45 ounces of water. I know I need more water but thats about all I can do at this time. I am not scheduled to start any type of real food for three weeks, then I get to try a couple of tablespoons of scrambled eggs. I must say I am scared even thinking about regular food. My doctor had me on only liquid protein 4 weeks before surgery and now 3 weeks after surgery the same. I lost 25 lbs before surgery and 3 lbs post op. So tell me guys is being this tired and icky normal?? Thanks for the feed back Ruby.
