Hi all,

I am about two weeks post op and I have noticed that whenever I drink anything, my Protein shakes or just Water my heart starts racing. Nothing too crazy but enough that I can feel it. It doesn't seem to matter how slowly I drink or how small my sips are it still makes my heart slightly tachycardic. Has anyone else experienced that?

Is your surgeon aware that this is happening? if not, please call. You will feel better after talking with a medical professional.

And I'm two weeks post-op and haven't experienced that symptom...

I agree call your doctor and have that checked. I've never heard of anything like that before.

Oh my gosh, I was JUST a part of this conversation on Wednesday!! A woman at my work (RNY 3/13/13) was saying that her heart races too!! She said she happened to be on one of the Bariatric Facebook pages when another woman posted about it, and she got quite a few responses. This IS something that happens to WLS patients. Carol (the woman at my work) said it happens to her when she seems to eat too fast.

Definitely mention it to your surgeon, but just know that you are NOT alone with this.

Yes. This used to happen to me the first 4-6 weeks post op. Here was a discussion I found online that explained why. post-233184-14198942109996_thumb.jpg

I started having the same thing yesterday!!! I am not even a week out of surgery! I ended up going to the ER because it jumped up to 140 by the time I got to the ER it was normal. They didn't find anything wrong!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
