Is it normal to feel tired all the time after a major op?

[Khun Ying Pojaman]

Heaps of TCM here. Some have 20+ years of experience from China.

Okay, then go see a TCM and tell him that you have just been through a major operation and ask for supplements that can help you replenish your lost 'Qi'. The English doctors don't believe in 'Qi'; it's a Chinese concept. Don't purchase the raw stuff as if you need to know how to 'cook' the stuff. Get those that have been ground and packaged into into individual capsules.

田七 is the basic stuff where it helps 補氣 especially after surgical operation. When your body is 'cut open' it's like tire puncture and your body loses that equilibrium. Your body will self-repair to restore that equilibrium, but it takes a long time especially if you're after 30. Chinese medicine will speed up the process of recovery.

田七 is segregated into 生田七 and 熟田七, Ash needs 熟田七 to replenish the blood, hope he gets well soon

I've been feeling really tried over the last couple of days after my op. I asked the surgeon about it and he said its normal to have fatigue months after a op like this? Any bro here has any recommendation as to increase or adjust my energy back to normal?

Bro, it depend on what sort of operation you underwent. The best source of information is off course from the doctors and the staff that assist in recuperation.
Certian ops demand complete rest in bed (CRIB).
Have a speedy recovery.

What sort of supplements? Vitamins?

For starters get a good multi-vitamin & don't be afraid to take more than the recommended dose, as you are recovering from surgery.

Other things to consider
omega3, Vitamin B complexes, vitamin C, green drinks, antioxidant drinks containing a wide spectrum of plants & super foods, protein supplements,..
Don't worry about overdosing because it's only until you feel better, then you can make adjustments.

You want to ensure your body has the necessary ingredients at the critical stage of healing. Go to a good health store & don't be shy about asking for recommendations.

Ehh if you don't mind me asking what type of procedure did you have
