Feeling tired after eating. Cant tolerate food smells. Fast Heartbeat

[Guest guest]

I find that I also have a very rapid heart beat after eating sometimes. Going

back to the sugar, I did have a small chocolate and did notice the rapid heart

beat but had also had some wine prior to that so not sure if it was the wine or

the chocolate but it doesnt always just happen with sugar. Sometimes I have

sugar and it doesnt affect me. The other night my heart was beating out of my

chest to where I felt like I couldnt breath. I wish I knew what these were being

caused from. My eating experience sucks so far with the sleeve. I dont want to

eat because I feel like crap almost everytime I do unless I have like yogurt or

bland food. I also cannot tolerate smells of foods..makes me want to throw up.

Does anyone have this issue?

Dear ,

It is IMPERATIVE that you get to a doctor to have this checked out immediately. With you not eating, you're not getting as many nutrients as before and your body is possibly washing away a number of normal electrolytes, including potassium. Potassium is an essential element that your body needs to regulate, among other things, your heart rate. If you are lacking potassium because you haven't been eating, you will need to have it replaced (and the over-the-counter potassium products DO NOT have enough potassium to replace what you need if you are seriously deficient - you need prescription-strength potassium only your doctor can give you).

I'm six weeks post-op and have gone through the same thing. But, a lot of people have written me and told me it would get better. I believe them. A lot of the food I ate before doesn't smell good. Experiment with other bland foods. Deli sliced turkey and cheese tasted good. Milk is palatable. I believe a lot of my problem with food is I was trying to take bites that were too big and not chewing until it was a watery mush. I'd swallow a big bite, it would hurt, and I would end up nauseated and then not want to eat again. Popsicles were my best friend.

Hang in there, I am. I have faith it will get better.
