2months
I have been sick for 2 months, they ended up taking my gallbladder out and 2 months in and I still haven’t gone back to solid foods I’m only drinking meal replacement shakes and I have lost <edit> and now I have anxiety and panic attacks……

It sounds like a very distressing experience. Have you been able to reach out to your physician since your surgery? Were you struggling with eating before your surgery?
I'm really glad you shared. I hate hearing how much of a struggle you are experiencing.
Yes before my surgery I wasn’t eating because I was nauseous and had diarrhea. I have reached out and they are not sure why I haven’t eaten yet

It sounds like when you mention the anxiety that this is a fearful experience to eat. Have you considered seeking counseling since you are having the anxiety around eating? I would imagine that if I had the symptoms you described before your surgery, I would struggle with eating as well. It's understandable that with the struggles you had with the symptoms that it can be a struggle to get back to eating. Sometimes counselors can really help us to look at the anxiety and work toward getting through the anxiety to get back to eating (or whatever our anxiety might be).
