So tired from typing this I may need a nap

I'm almost a month out from a lap RNY. This has pretty much been textbook up till this past week. I'm just so dizzy and tired all of a sudden. I expected this the forst couple weeks out, but seriously, I was up and at 'em by the second week. Blow-drying my hair, doing my makeup, dropped from a size 24 to a 20 like that (finger snap)...I was sure this was the greatest thing ever. But now...I don't have problems eating with the exception I get a lot of air in my tummy...and I don't eat fast, either. It takes me 30 minutes to eat 3 ounces of yogurt. Which brings me to my next point. I have no desire for food, drink, anything. I get so few calories in-maybe 200 or so a day? I generally eat half a scrambled egg at some point and half a container of yogurt toward the end of the day. Plus I drink some light cranberry juice (pretty much the only drink I like the taste of this week.) And that's it. I sleep all the time, when I get up I get dizzy and have no desire to do anything. I haven't been outside in over a week. I don't get dressed, NOTHING. Now, I know that lack of calories (ie: body fuel) probably has a big part to do with this. I just don't know what to do in the meantime. Like I said, I don't want to eat but look forward to a day when I do. I used to drink tons of coffee and would somehow scrape through my days that way. Now I don't bother. I can't seem to snap out of it! I don't feel sad, just really exhausted. Help me figure out how to eat more so I can get some energy back. Sorry for rambling! BTW, not that y'all wanna hear this BUT my lap incisions are disappearing. As in, almost faded away. No keloiding. Yea!
