Weak and Swollen :-(

[Danielle Rubin 2]

I was sleeved on 1/24 starting weight 212 current weight 183 so have lost a total of 25lbs which I am very happy with although today something strange happened. I woke up so weak I could hardly move I felt so lightheaded. I am still on liquid phase but it's literally lasted all day I feel like a zombie. Also even with a 25lbs drop my stomach seems so big part of me thinks even bigger than before,I am so swollen. So my questions

1. Is it normal on liquid phase to have weak days

2. When did the Stomach swelling go down

Thanks

Totally normal to be tired and weak on the liquid phase.

1. You're getting minimal calories

2. You're getting limited amounts of Protein

3. You just had major surgery

I slept a lot the first couple of weeks and I still get tired easy. I went shopping yesterday for about 2 hrs and couldn't wait to go to bed.

This will get better when I can get in more calories. I'm still struggling to get 600 in.

The swelling.. I still think mine is swollen some (4 weeks out). I'm not puffy but my food restriction is pretty big still.

I'm only 1 week post op, but I'm super tired too. I had a follow-up with my Dr today and he said it's all normal, given the trauma from surgery. Hang in there! I'm ready for a nap right now....hehe...

i was sleeved on 1/27 and i was super weak too. just wanted to sleep. a lot! I've been on soft foods since monday and i do feel better but still sleepy in the mornings for sure. the weakness isn't so bad anymore though. i am still swollen inside too. it is getting easier to drink but still painful sometimes. it just keeps getting better day by day

Thanks guys the weird thing was I was feeling fine for days and then it literally hit me like a tonne of bricks. It was my first week back at work so I am probably just exhausted. I keep thinking I am having severe chest pains also but I think it's just wind.

Looking forward to moving to purée on Sunday!
