The first week has not been easy. I was told my band has a small amount of fill. Water going down slowly but OK. smoothies (protein) go down very slow . . . almost need to work at it. On a follow-up call from my clinic I explained slight nausea, very light headed mostly from having difficulty taking in food. No appetite and really . . . nothing taste good. They said come in . . . but mentioned much of this was from swelling and will get better. It has gotten a little better each day . . . not much. Have digested very little in the last week . . . maybe two nutrituional drinks a day and that takes work.

Is this normal. I'm sure I've lost weight . . . but feel very exhausted and weak. Should I go in to see the DR or will I continue to slowly improve?

Is this normal for week 1 ???

I felt the same exact way this being my first week... but i have to say that i am feeling better... i felt all the same things you did. the nutritionist told me to to focus on drinking to hydrate the first few days and once i did that i started feeling much better. do not stress the food so much the first few days. You need liquids to help you recover.... specifically gatorade.
