I was wondering if other people were having high heart rates that come and go? I know I don't have a leak (had a CT Friday). It goes to 105-120 then will calm down if a relax for a few minutes. Some say after you eat and I do find this happens but I get it other times too. My surgeon didn't really say anything other than he wanted to check for leak cause I had a fever when I went for checkup. Just wondering if anyone else had this and has any information. It didn't start until after surgery.

I personally have not had this happen at all. It may have something to do with your body adjusting to the changes. I believe some peoples heart rates are affected by hormone releases. You make want to follow up with your PCP and have some EKG's done to be on the safe side. Good Luck.

Fever can cause increased heart rate. I also have increased heart rate if I eat to much. I think the body is working hard to digest. I had an echo and stress test before surgery which is tomorrow. Hoping being smaller will help

Thanks everyone your input. I'm trying to track it to see when it occurs so when I do go to Dr I can describe when it happens so we can figure it out. I had a stress test last year and an the EKG before surgery so hopefully it's more food related either imbalance or when I eat.

      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.
