I keep feeling my heart beat. It feels like its beating in my throat. It's a very weird feeling. Especially to hear it. Has this happen to anyone else?

Yep, weird hah. I asked doctors about it, they didn't seem too concerned. 3 weeks out and it still comes and goes.

Hi Michelle I'm so happy to see u r fine. I think your body is just responding to the change it just had. U just removed 85% of your stomach. I'm not a Dr. so u ask your surgeon just to be sure. But I know God didn't c u through to let anything happen to you. I'm glad that u can feel your heartbeat it just means your ALIVE lol. U will be back to normal in a few days. Just take 1 day at a time rest ,walk for a few minutes a day n don't b afraid to take pain meds if u have some discomfort . Stay in touch I will be looking out for your posts. By the way r u from NYC ?

You may be feeling some effects of dehydration. It an cause your heart to beat faster and/or harder. It should go away as you get better about hydration and just as you heal! Always check with your doc but I'd bet money you're fine. Good luck!

Yep. I had that, too. I had surgery exactly one week before you. It lasted a few days and has now gone away. It may be your blood pressure being elevated due to the pain. If it really scares you or doesn't go away with a couple of days, you could call the doctor. I felt it especially when I was laying down. Like it was in my neck. Like listening to the ocean through a shell.

      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.
