panic attacks

Does anyone else get a sick feeling or a kind of panicky feeling sometimes when they take a bite of food? What do you do for this? This has been happening to me. Even with foods that I know I can eat. .

Not when I eat, however I have had panic attacks since I was in my twenties. Have taken meds since my thirties. Thus no panic attacks, unless I do not take meds. Do you are have you had attacks at any other time?

yes Marla, I have had panic attacks in the past and was on medication for them. My doctor has put me back on the meds.

Is good doctor put you back on them(meds). Our bodies go through so many changes after wls. If meds do not help, then check back with doc asap. good luck

If you only have that feeling when it comes to eating you should probably get some counselling about feeling comfortable with food again. I had panic attacks about 15 years ago and got to the point where I couldnt leave the house without having one. I seen a Dr for counselling and went on desipramine and after 4 months I never was weaned off the med and have never had another one since. Good luck Patty

hi , i find myself not wanting to swallw food , at times it is ok and sometimes days i may chew and spit everything out all day long . yes i am confessing , i am sure i am not the only one .

no, you are not alone. i just saw my surgeon and nutritionist this week for my 3 month check and shared with them that i am nauseated a lot and can't eat sometimes. their advise- eat more carbs and use digestive papaya enzymes with every meal. seems to be working. good luck. ellin
