Rita Savelis I hear you Barbara. I was exhausted for a long time after my mitral replacement. Recovery takes time. Your heart has been through a lot. Getting to the mitral valve is a lot harder than getting to the aortic valve, so your heart has had more trauma. I hope that your energy starts to come back bit by bit.

Barbara Wood I had a mitral valve repair 10 weeks ago. I was very exhausted for weeks. I would get up, have breakfast, take a shower, then then go back to bed for a nap. This lasted for a few weeks- the level of exhaustion I felt was shocking to me, I had never experienced anything like it ( & I've been through chemo & cancer treatment). By week 6 I was feeling definitely better, now , at 10 weeks, I feel really great, better than before. It will come...walk as much as you can & eat as well as you can- it does get better! Best wishes :)

Phyllis Petersen It was a lot harder than I expected too, but you will start feeling better. Try to push yourself a little, even if it's in short spurts with large rest periods. Cardiac rehab should help move you along.

Steve Farthing 3 weeks is not very long ago. Recovery time varies widely so no need to worry you are not going to recover eventually. Feel free to try some menu items, desserts, whatever that are appealing just to spark the appetite.

Kathy Blank My body told me if I was doing too much during the first 3 months. Lots of rest helps the body heal. Focus on the things that improve- longer walks- more activity- better sleep- less pain, etc! Blink twice and you will be looking back at your recovery feeling so much better!
Vanessa Corwin Listen to your body! You will improve. You need time to heal
