With my program there is two. Today I did a 2 hour session of basically a bubble test. It was 589 questions (MMPI) then an eating questionnaire and about 10 'about me' type forms. Next week they will have my results and I go meet with the psychiatrist. I think they just want to make sure I have realistic expectations, am capable of handling change, and have appropriate support.

Congratulations on 60lbs! That's awesome! and in 3/12 months! Wow! I hope that by May 13, I can say the same thing! Or sooner...April 25th will be three months post-op for me, and it will be my 43rd birthday...I mean 4th anniversary of my 39th birthday. What a great present to myself that would be! As for your dad...maybe he enjoys seeing updated pictures of you and that's was his skewed attempt of letting you know that?? Maybe not...but it could be he's very proud of your achievement and maybe doesn't really know how to express it, especially if you haven't been very close to begin with. I pray that is what it is. But it sounds like that even without him, you have lots of other family support to help you celebrate! God bless!

Good luck on all your adventures! I love The Voice and I really hope you make it! It is such a blessing for you to have such talent so make the most out of it! I love to sing, but can't sing lol, so you are truly blessed! You look awesome and are very beautiful, keep up the good work.

that's awesome. i too have an old pair of jeans from like 5 yrs ago I only wore 2 times.I will be a happy camper the day i can fit back into them

Awww Hang in there, one week will go by really fast. True the pre-op diet is tough, but sticking it out is both for your best health going into surgery AND any weight you lose will be bonus. You won't have to lose it post-op. xoxo

Wow great job!! I'm glad to see you're back on the wagon, though you did take a little time off it didn't seem to hurt you too much. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to checking in next month.

Im 6 days out of having the sleeve , 3 years ago i had lap band and didnt work out for me initially i did loose weight then after 2 years started to put weight on again so 9 weeks ago had it removed so here i am ..i have done alot of research and listen to alot of you tube posts and opionions and i have to say most are very very positive. its not an easy choice nothing is ...what we are doing is high risk and will have emotional days and i think i will have withdrawal symptoms from the food i have been eating but all i know is if i dont do this i will die from Obesity.... Good Luck never give up hope xx

Hello Cat, I am 17 days post-op, and I do not regret it. The benefits are tremendous, and the goal is worth the journey. You will eat very little, you will not fell hungry, you will not hallucinate about food, you will be ligher. The best time to do it, is when you are all clear from any medical condition/complications like diabetes, heart condition, pulmonary condition,... Do it while you are fit, do not wait until you become impaired with other medical conditions to do it. Good luck

I will have to see if she is open to maybe teaming up, but I can not allow her to try and de-rail me. I will say again I am no expert in any of this but I know if we follow the rules that we have a better chance to succeed.

Congratulations on making the decision. Good luck on your journey!
