It is normal to be easily fatigued after major surgery. The body expends a lot of energy trying to heal. Most patients are easily tired for 3-4 weeks after a major procedure. Sometimes patients think that since they're not in pain they should go back to their normal routine only to find out they just exhaust themselves.

However, if you are concerned then you should definitely go back to see you doctor right away.
