HoLEP Log: What did you experience pre and post-op?

I'm 24 days post op and feel very lethargic, sometimes my hands have a slight tremble, my strength is down. I also find myself in a fog, staring out the window or at the wall. I'm 61 years old. Insomnia doesn't help matters, but this was happening before surgery, I attribute it to anxiety. I need to have a blood test for kidney function, glucose and insulin levels. I'm better after a cup of coffee, but after a walk I tire easily. I used to work out in the gym before surgery, 3 to 4 times a week. It's too early to lift weight so I'll do walking. I'm wondering if it's a metabolic kidney issue that's causing all of this, or the residue of Augmentin antibiotics I too before, and after surgery- for 8 days after. This doesn't help the kidneys much.

Have you started any rounds of probiotics following the completion of your Augmentin? If I take an antibiotic I will take probiotics after completion to get my gut bacteria back in order. That could also be a contributor to your sleep issues. I use Garden of Life colon care probiotics. That product has the correct strains of bacteria which contribute to the production of Gaba which in turn induces sleep. Insomnia is a big issue with me as well. Last night I tried a different supplement to see if it would help. Glycine is the product it tastes just like sugar I took 1 G with each meal and 1 G before I went to bed. Went to sleep like I was on Xanax, slept almost 3 hours before the first bathroom break and a little bit over 4 hours after the second break. This is a new record for me in the positive direction.
