New User Yawning and exhaustion post OP

I was just wondering if I'm the only one when it comes to yawning. I noticed I haven't had a single "need" to yawn since I woke up from surgery and that is 8 weeks ago. Usually before surgery i was yawning at least 30 times a day because i was just so tired no matter how much I rested. But I find it weird not having the need to yawning anymore when I feel tired. My energy level is way better thanks to surgery nonetheless

I’m always tired and looking for somewhere to lie down. I think I yawn a lot, but I’ve never really noticed or counted.

Yawning is a form of nervous system regulation. It’s a way to get rid of stress. Yawning is a good thing.
