Hi:

You should probably call your doctor. It's probably nothing, but you should make sure because your heart is so important!

Let us know how you're doing.

It is probably nothing.....but, just in case, call your doctor. That kind of thing can make you crazy and will make flutters worse if you stress out about it.

Please call your doctor, If you get the service he/she will call you back. I would not be scared but it could be a reaction to something.

PLease call now

I have a heart murmor and forgot about it till I was in my forties. Now, I am careful

I think your murmor is your heart thanking you for getting banded.

Are you having the correct amount of H2O

call the doctor and enjoy the awards tonight...I am looking for the dress that I will wear when I get to my healthy ideal weight

I was banded on the 14th and I have the heart flutters too. It just comes and goes. I just figured it was normal!? I will check with my doctor if it continues in a few more days.

CAVEAT: I am not a medical doctor!

I have had heart fluttering all my life. I've been tested for all sorts of heart things with nothing wrong.

Mine usually happen when I am starving and when I am really anxious. So when it happens, being anxious makes it worse. My doctor believes its an electrolyte thing so usually it's time for food and drink and Vitamins. Without fail, after a snack or meal, it's like it never happened.

You should have it checked out but try not to worry too much.

Oh. And one more thing...

When I get a stitch in my side, it's a dehydration thing. That's what the MD said and I thought she was totally wrong. So when I get it, I push down Water. You know what? It works. I guess that medical degree and students loans paid off! tongue.png

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
