Sorry but it looks like your plant didn't get enough water after you repotted it. From my experience once the leaves get like this they won't get big and fat again although it doesn't mean the plant won't live to throw out new leaves. Barring root rot, it looks like the roots just weren't absorbing enough moisture. New potting mix doesn't "hold" moisture the way old media does. But now you need to make sure you don't compound what has already happened by overwatering it either. I would mist a couple times a day if possible or at least place the plant on a tray filled wioth gravel and water. And it could be that your lights were placed too close to the leaves or that they lights were not the correct wattage or type. But the picture shows a severly depleted plant like it was in the desert. One method you could also try is to place a plastic ziplock bag over the entire plant and try to keep it moist. 90% humidity would probably help. And don't give it too much light. Let us know how you do.
