    *Psych Evaluation Tips?

    Just be honest. They're not trying to trick you, they just want to make sure that you'll be able to handle a life-altering surgery. During my psych consult I had to do 2 or 3 (can't remember) questionnaires. No difficult questions, but a lot of strange questions—I think some were to just determine if you were reading all of the questions. During my conversation with the psychologist, he asked about my life: family history, relationships with family and significant other, why I wanted the surgery, if I had a history of ED. He also asked me questions about VSG. I had to describe what the surgery was for and physically what would happen because of the surgery (removal of 80% of stomach). I specifically remember that he asked me if it was reversible. Our conversation was only 20 minutes or so and he told me after that he didn't see any issues with me getting the surgery.

    Food Exposed - Rant

    One service I love, but can't use anymore because I live alone and don't eat enough, is Hungry HArvest. Its a fruit/veggie delivery service that looks for food that would otherwise be tossed - generally because its "ugly" or stupid things like the store ordered 8oz packs and the farm accidentally packed 16oz packs, so the store won't take them. They also donate food to people on SNAP. Their whole mission is to end food waste and hunger. Unlike most CSAs, you can choose (within what they have available) what veggies/fruit you want, you can start/stop/pause anytime, and the food is so fresh and good. Now that I just can't eat that much, it makes no sense for me, and I hate that I have to buy my veg from the supermarket (until our farmer's markets open back up in spring).

    Nervious about life after

    See I read this as: "Worried About After Life" and then I was like, "Well hells! Aren't we all?!!!" (I seem to be drivin' the bus to Hell most days...just sayin'...) bahahahaha! Relax. Totes norm! The life AFTER will be one where you still have to worry about what you eat, rather than what you can't eat or have to give up. You will lament at some point, that you can still eat all the crap in the world with little NO restriction, while eating real healthy food fills you up too fast. Cruel Irony thy name is Life.

    Nervious about life after

    Like many have said, Life isn't about food at all anymore. It's about living life and not worrying about every single little thing that we as morbidly obese worry about.

    When does it stop!

    It really is. My family keeps telling me to drink more and it's so annoying...obviously if I could drink more, I would!
