Get a grip!  Just kidding.  I guess my only advise is you sound like a strong girl who can and will handle this and sounds like you are in capable hands.  You went through weight loss surgery and you can get through this too.  Maybe try to find as much information on your condition as possible. At least they found this and you have a chance for them to help you.  Good thing you are not carrying all that extra weight anymore, one would think that has and will help your  ticker in this rough situation. 
 

About 5 years ago while donating plasma, my pulse is irregular. It occurred too often so I was deferred until I got the okay from a doctor.  Fast-forward to a year ago, a ton of tests determine I have a portion of my heart working at <40%, and another part is enlarged. I'm put on medication that made me sick, but took it anyway. Had to change doctors for insurance. New cardiologist (love him) enlists an electorphysiologist to help figure this out. (footnote: grandparents had 7 heart attacks, 2 cousins my same age recently had heart attacks; 1 died 4 wks later of a stroke) Now, after many tests, monitoring devices, I'm having surgery February 6th. It's kind of a "look and see what's happening inside" thing, but could result in a pacemaker. My concerns are: I'm 42 and in great health otherwise. I'm going to be awake for this 1-6 hour surgery. I love to run and don't want this to end my goal of a marathon.  I am completely confident in my doctors. They rock! Just dealing with the heart thing is getting to me. I have too many heart issues in my family and I don't want to ignore it, but also am afraid that I might make things worse. So all this worrying is screwing me up. I eat, I don't eat. I sleep, I don't sleep. I work out and work out and work out, but can't get out of my own head! Tell me to get a grip or something!! I deal with other people's issues much better than my own.

Hi Shari,  better go see a doc!  Sounds like what a co-worker had.  4 days he had similar complaints, then started getting dizzy and was dehydrated (He's not even a WLS person). He ended up in emergency and he had the "peanut problem" from peanut butter health bars and peanut butter cups.  Don't mess around with it.  Good luck!

I'm stuck with4 boxes of new whey potein shots that I can't stand.  Do you think if I deluted them with water that I would still be getting the 42 grams of protein?  I can tolerate them when I delute them.   HELP

Has anybody had any issues with Peanut butter? I eat ALOT of it including bars that contain it. For 3 days I've had severe abdominal cramps and Loose whitish stools. Cramping that feels like contractions. I didn't really think about Peanut butter being the culprit until today when I was watching the news.
If I'm still feeling horrible tomorrow I'll call the doc. Maybe I'm over reacting but I do eat alot of it.
