Re: is swelly belly supposed to get worse?
If you do too much, yes, swelly belly makes its appearance. My rule of thumb was to go lie down as soon as I felt heaviness in the bottom of my tummy. That seemed to keep swelling down to a minimum for me even though I have very little to begin with. I hope this helps.

Re: is swelly belly supposed to get worse?
Swelly belly is just one of those things you have to learn to get used to. Yes, during the first couple of weeks, sometimes it gets worse, then better, then worse. If you overdo it, then it will swell more, but you still need to get up and walk every hour or so. You don't have to walk a lot the first week, but you need to do it. By next week, if you pay attention, you may notice that your belly is less swollen in the morning and gets bigger throughout the day. If you lie down for a couple hours, often the swelling will go down a little two. For now, what you are describing sounds normal.
