Well, heart beating faster means ANEMIA to me.  Better have it checked out. Also, try to have more protein shakes and less apples/salads.  The protein will help with the lack of energy and you don't need apples right now, they are full of sugar! 

Get your blood checked, anemia will make you tired, heart beat faster and pound in your chest, and will also make you dizzy and nauseous.  But worst of all it can cause heart problems and keep you from having surgery.  GOOD LUCK!

First piece of advice, step away from the damn TV!  Or if you have the luxury of DVR or TIvo use it and fast forward through all the commercials, its all food!!  I am having a hard time sometimes, last night my DH was eating lasagna and I got a little cranky.  But then I had some sugar free jello and it calmed me down, actually it sat better in my pouch than water does.  Good luck!  I feel for you, literally!

I did not have to do a sleep apnea test, I guess I don't have the symptoms for it, I really have no idea what the symptoms are.  I would say if your Doc suggests one it is probably a good idea to have one.

I do not remember being dizzy at all but I was so sleepy it was very hard to work on the 3rd day of the liquid diet.  (on my diet I am not allowed any fruit because there is to much sugar in fruit)

I'm still dizzy and lethargic... almost dozing off on my desk too....!! this is really difficult... Especially when hunger creeps in... I try to have half and apple or some salad ... but that only makes my tummy rumbles even more..

The only thing that I like being on the liquid and vegetarian diet is that my complexion glows!! I guess a little detox does have its benefits.

I also feel like my heart is beating faster whenever i walk a little bit more than usual.. maybe that's just anxiety huh...??

Is sleep apnea test necessary for you? My physician suggest for me to do so... I'm still trying to decide..

Topic: RE: Liquid Diet
Hello,
I've been on my liquid diet since May 12th so day 8 for me, I am down 7 lbs.  It has really slowed down these past few days, hoping I will wake up soon and tada  5 more lbs gone. LOL, I haven't placed one morsel of food in my mouth but today everything I see is catching my eye.  But I will keep my eye on the prize at the end.  Good luck to you!!

My surgery is Wednesday (tomorrow!) as well. Oddly, I'm not feeling nervous or anxious at all. I feel very well-educated about it (thanks in great part to this site).    I'm a little nervous about having to spend a night or two in the hospital, since I've never done that before.  I'm also trying to prepare myself emotionally for regretting it and being miserable the first couple of weeks after surgery, as many people are.  I may come back here for constant reminders that feeling will pass.

I'm so glad the date is finally here!
