I have been an emotional wreck the past 17 hours. Long story, short version: my dog was brutally attacked on our nightly walk by a large unleashed dog. Needless to say I couldn't eat dinner last night and spent most of the night up worrying. Today, I can also barely eat. I've been nursing a protein shake but it hurts to do more than sip it which is not my norm. Has anyone else had their emotions effect their sleeve?

Sure. Just be sure not to get dehydrated. Keeping your body hydrated is very important. Try to make sure you get your vitamins in, too. I once went about two days of eating nothing, just drinking, because I didn't want to eat at all. It passed.

I'm too new to give you an answer to your question, but I really hope you're dog will be ok!!! Poor baby!!

Thank you. I think he will be ok in time, he made it through surgery ok. He's got a pretty intense recovery ahead of him. :"(

Oh geez....I was so busy thinking about you making sure to get in your fluids I didn't even comment on your sweet pup! That must be heartbreaking to see your baby hurt

I'm not sure about your sleeve but the same thing happened to me and my dog on a walk last year. I promptly went out and bought pepper spray, and its non part of what I take on every walk.

Thanks Joe. My Dad suggested the same thing. So I asked the vet this morning, she thinks it's a good idea too. There are way too many inattentive dog owners in my area. It will be my next purchase. I hope your dog is okay.

Your dog needs his Mom to be healthy - I agree, stay hydrated and just do what you can. But dehydration and lack of calories/protein can knock you on your butt really fast now!

Speedy recovery to the pooch and great health to you!

Yes.. Stress and emotions can make a difference. Same thing happened with the band as it does with my sleeve.

And so sorry for you dog.. And you.

Wow, sorry about the pouch, I hope he will be ok. Did you find the owner of the dog that attacked him?

I'm sorry to hear about your dog but yes emotions can totally totally make you feel like you can't eat a thing and what you do eat makes you feel very very tight in the chest. stressful situations will do that as well. I would recommend that you just drink your Protein shakes nice and slow and then everything will just go down and try not to eat while you feel that stress. I had the same thing happened to me with stress good luck.

Thank you. The owners was there, thank god, or my doggy would have died. He was playing in the middle of the street with his dog as we were walking down the sidewalk. Then the dog came up behind me and snatched my little guy away.

I never had a "nervous" stomach until I was sleeved, now my emotions totally affect how much ( if anything) i can eat/drink.
