I had surgery on 4/22 I can hardly get down 1 protein shake and a bottle of water. All I am doing is sleeping all day. I try to get up and walk but I get dizzy and tired after 5 mins. My stating weight was 256 and as of today I'm 235. Is this normal?

Talk to your doctor, but i just spoke to my dietitian this past week and we went through the different phase's and based on what she told me it sounds normal just keep trying to get that liquid down I'm sure it will start getting easier

The dizzy and tired feelings are most likely coming from the lack of protein intake. This also leads to your body feeding on muscle tissue which then slows weight loss and makes you even weaker. If you can't get in more protein and water you need to call your dr and get checked to make sure there isn't a larger problem. Good Luck.

Ok thanks guys

Remember...In the first couple of weeks, water first, protein second. Makes a world of difference. Our bodies can survive with what we have stored....it needs the water to stay hydrated.

Sounds like you're probably dehydrated. One bottle of water is really little for a day, so you should probably work on getting more in. I know it's hard, but sip sip sip all the time. You don't wanna end up in the hospital.
