My Psych Eval is today and I'm so nervous. I just need to get through this and 1 more doctor visit and off to the insurance while I wait and hope to be approved. I have no idea what they are going to ask. I was told it was a 2 hour visit. My stomach is in Knots. I wish I could have someone go with me to hold my hand. Is this a "Make it or Break it" moment? Wish me luck! I'm almost there!

You will do fine, I'm sure. They want to make sure you don't have unrealistic expectations of the surgery, that you have thought about the changes you will need to make in your eating habits, that you have some sort of support system in place if the going gets rough, and that you have valid reasons for wanting surgery. Don't worry!

You can do it! No joke, Foxbins has it right on the money. Just stay calm, and I am positive you will do fine. Do not unnecessarily stress yourself!

when I went to mine, they had so many questions regarding death and thoughts of suicide. I was like uh yeah ok, most people that want wls are not immediately suicidal. Cmon, suiciders get a one way ticket to skinnyville.....

He basically just had me explain the surgery to him in detail, I had to take a T/F test which was kind of funny but I imagine it was to make sure I was mentally stable. He called me this afternoon and said I passed and is forwarding my eval to Dr. Nicholson. All I need now is my last Doctor Appt for my diet which is June 3rd and then I will give everything to the office to submit to insurance. I'm so excited!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
