I was sleeved July 21 and am having a really hard time the last few days. I have been an emotional wreck. Having a hard time with everything. I have no appetite and could care less if I eat or not and everything I put in my mouth makes me want to gag and vomit. Protein has been impossible for me to handle because the smell of it makes me want to hurl my toe nails up. The only thing that I have been able to tolerate is soft serve frozen yogurt and cottage cheese and sonic ice chips with lime. After I eat anything I feel as if I am having a major anxiety attack. I get all sweaty with a heavy feeling in my chest and stomach and feel like I can't breath. Is this normal or am I really going crazy??

No I don't think you are crazy! You might want to put in a call to your NUT or doctor and talk it over with them!

Praying you feel better soon!

If you are having an anxiety attack you're not going crazy! I would go see my surgeon and make sure a leak has not formed God Bless!!!

of course you're not crazy! speak to your doctor, that's what they're there for and that's why they get all that money! :) if it's an anxiety attack, you will feel better after speaking to the doc. if it's not, they will help you figure it out. when i became diabetic, i realized that to me, low blood sugar feels a lot like an anxiety attack, so don't feel like you're being a pain if you go to your doctor.

let us know how you feel later!

Talk to doc.... But remember it's NORMAL to have emotional issues .... So much is happening to you. I too am somewhat depressed, and I'm so glad you have us to talk to. I see a psychiatrist regularly and she is monitoring me closely. So much can change with meds and weight loss. Just remember you did this for YOU. And you have understanding friends here !!

      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.
