Is this normal?

Both are completely normal.  Keep following the palm and concentrate in healing and getting energy back.  Best of luck you are doing great.

Thank you!

There is nothing wrong with you. Everything is normal. I fully agree with Marry Gee Whiz that everybody has different ways to lose weight. The injury during bending will take time to heal. Take medicines for some time. If the pain does not subside, consult a specialist.

Thanks! My injury has healed and I've started losing more weight. I think I was just freaking out.
