Default Fatigue & Weakness

As many of you know I had surgery back on 11/22. Soon thereafter I developed a UTI. I've been on abx for that and it's much better.

My question is what can I do for the fatigue? I know it's a direct result of the surgery.....I expected it. But now I'm ready for it to go away.

How long should this last?

Seems like all I do is sleep. I get up.....stay up for about an hour.....and then I'm ready to go back to bed. Today I've slept more than I've been up. I've just been giving into it because there's nothing for me to do even if I am up. If I do too much I pay for it for several days.

I'm thankful not to be in any pain. Just always feel like I've climbed a mountain with weights on my feet. I know the weakness is related to me not eating much but I am eating a little more each day. Any suggestions?
