Week 2 Weigh In and Regrets

First off, let's look at the positive...

	Starting Wt	Week 1 Preop	Week 2 Preop Surg Day	Week 1 (7/23/13)	Week 2	Total
	318.2	316.2	306.0	303.2	291.2
Wt Loss	0.0	-2.0	-10.2	-2.8	-12.0	-27.0

So, the weight is falling off but if you asked me RIGHT THIS MOMENT if I'd do it again...I'd tell you no.   I suspect in a few months you'll hear me singing a different song.  But this first couple weeks have been really rough. 

This week I have been experiencing extreme dizziness and nauseousness.  Because I used a surgeon in MX it isn't like I can just go for a check up.  And because my insurance will exclude anything they deem related to weight loss surgery...I'd rather no one in the states even know that I had the surgery.  This morning I thought about Urgent Care or calling my primary doctor.  I finally emailed the surgeon who told me to get in more protein.  So I am trying that.

I suspect part of it is the body adjusting to all the changes.  It is also really difficult to get all your fluids in and all your protein in.   But I am trying my best.  And I'm hoping this will only last a few days.  Cause it really sucks to feel this way.  It's hard to be a single Mom working two jobs when your world is spinning.  And it is really scary when you wake up and can't even reach for your phone. 

Also, as you lose weight the fat cells release hormones...so your emotions are everywhere.  (And the anesthesia can cause depression that takes a month or so to wear off).  So I find myself just sitting and crying.

Ugh.  It will be worth it long term.  I have faith.
