Anxiety or an issue? What do you think?



Recommended Posts

I'm just over three months out. The past 4 or 5 days, I've been working having strange issues in my chest. Understand

..I'm under a huge load of stress between my 12 year old with HORRIBLE..INSANE...ADHD.. my husband who is working two jobs and I see 15 minutes a day (also with horrible PTSD and highly grouchy working 18 hours a day and sleeping 3.) As well as myself going through a change of jobs.

The issue is... I feel like food is stuck. I know it is not. I threw everything up last night to be sure. Since then I can hardly even drink my Water much less eat. I have eaten about half of a 1/8 pound hamburger patty and hardly drank. When I do, it feels tight in my chest.

I'm thinking I'm just having anxiety issues. From stress. It feels like an anxiety attack I had years ago. I'm just so nervous that it could be something else. Has anyone had similar issues? I'm going to my surgeons office at 9am. They want to check for h pylori.

Not sure if it anxiety or maybe you did have something stuck last night and after throwing up it has irritated you.

Maybe try going back to liquids for a day or two and see if it improves.

Are you a sleever? It also could be a nasty case of reflux brought on by your food and stress combined.

If you are RNY then, I am guessing it might just be irritated.

I am really glad that you are going to the doctor though. That is the right thing to do if you feel you cannot eat at this point.

I'm RNY. I've never felt this before not had any issues like this that linger. I have had stuff stuck and over ate/ate too fast.. but I knew exactly what that was and it was my fault. This chest pain has been ongoing for about 4 days.. worsened by my taco last night.

      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.
