Odd Question



Recommended Posts

Never noticed this before surgery but when im not breathing in, I can actually see my heart beat in my tummy area. Anyone else have this or is this normal?

Thinking maybe because I still have gas.

No, I cannot say I have have had that. It possibly could be the gas though.

I have always been able to see my tummy going up and down in rythm with my heart. And this was before the surgery.....lol. Hopefully the fat will go down and then my heart won't jiggle my tummy.

maleliz,

Why YES, this is me too :) Since my surgery on Thursday, I feel my heart beating so strongly that I see my chest and sometimes my belly thumping along, very weird. I can also feel and hear my heartbeat much more intensely than before my surgery. I'm guessing it's normal and that perhaps we are more intune with our bodies now. I also find that I'm getting lots of walking in so that tends to get the heart beating too. Before my surgery, for the last 5 months or so, I've had terrible discomfort in my right ankle and could not go for long walks anymore. Now and since I woke up from surgery, I no longer have ankle pain and am enjoying being able to walk around without hobbling about like an older woman (me being only 32 and all). They put those massage booties on my legs during the surgery, so I bet that has something to do with it :)

      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.
