Anesthesia and Fatigue

[krodriguez79]

I had my wisdom teeth out 2 weeks ago.  I was sedated and beside having dry socket.  Everything has gone ok.  however,  I am experience extreme fatigue.  If I sit still for more than a few minutes I cannot stay awake.  I can't stay up past 8pm and my usual bedtime is 10:30pm.  I am waking up at the same time in the morning, but cannot stay stagnate or I will become extremely sleepy.  I feel restless.  I suffer from bipolar and take several medicines to control this however, that condition is stable and nothing has recently changed with that.  Could the anesthesia still be affecting my body.  I am 5'7 and weigh 105lbs.  So, I know that I am not the healthiest of person and am wondering if I depleted my body will eating just soup for over a week.  Any comments would be helpful.

Thank you for the response.
I am always 105 and always tired, but not quite this tired. My mouth is no longer sore, but it was for at least 2 weeks.  I am now in the third week and just starting to feel a difference.  An infection sounds about right. Hmmm,  thanks for the info.  I know I need to put on weight.  I have a VERY fast metabolism, but also a very poor diet and I think that coupled with the need to have a soft diet just depleted anything that my body was using as energy.  Thanks again.

Is your mouth sore?  Maybe you're fighting off an infection in there?  If you think it's anything like that, I'd go to the doctor - maybe ask for an antibiotic or something.  
Try making sure you're getting enough carbs and also enough fat.  If there aren't enough carbs in your soup, you'll get fatigued pretty easily - especially being so underweight.  
Are you always 105 lbs, or just because of losing weight because of the week of soup?  That's really underweight for 5'7.  As for a long term outlook, putting on a good 10 lbs or so would not only be healthier for your body, but would probably make a difference energy wise as well.
