Hi! So I had my surgery august 20th- I’ve lost about 35 pounds. Down from 325 to 294.. yay! I was cleared to eat regular foods at my one month post op appointment. Typically I eat a banana and peanut butter in the morning and drink a protein coffee… eat some sort of small protein rich lunch and a very small dinner. Within the last few days my appetite has reduced to the point where I can barely get a protein drink down. I’m wondering if this is normal? Every time I go to eat something I immediately regret it. I get anxious and nervous. I cut out all added/ natural sugar and caffeine thinking it was maybe a symptom of dumping… but that does not seem to be what’s happening. Any advice?? Thank you!

Emotional symptoms like anxiety. Physically my heart rate increases and I get shaky because of the anxiety. I also feel nauseated. It wasn’t like this a few weeks ago, when I first started eating solid foods. Only recently did the food related anxiety start.
