Hey everyone! I have my psych eval tomorrow and I'm wondering if any of you have any tips for me. For some reason I'm a little nervous, and I don't really know why.

I was nervous about mine too, but it turned out to be a very positive experience. I filled out a long questionnaire that asked questions on everything about personality, relationships, coping, anger, etc. I then met with the psychologist for about an hour. She evaluated my test answers and we talked about my background, history of weight loss attempts, family/friend support, etc. I hope you have the same kind of experience as I did.

Hi there!!

I just had my Psych Eval done on Friday.

It was so great, I was nervous too!

I thought maybe I wouldn't get clearance, but the Doctor was so friendly, I was totally honest with him. He asked questions, I answered truthfully, and he said ok, great I will print out the report to take with you! Yeah

Good Luck, and keep us updated!

Good NEWS! I was cleared and able to make my final appointment with the surgeon. Now, should I go ahead and schedule a physical with my PCP to include the EKG and blood work that I know will need to be done or do I wait until I'm instructed to do so?

That's great news, Im glad it went well for you!

I think that we just wait until we see our Surgeons, they will tell us where to go, and give orders for labs and EKG. When is your appointment?

It's April 10th. I'm hoping for an early May sleeve date. I don't know if things will work that fast though.

Well, maybe you should call your surgeon's

office and ask them if you should ask your PCP to order the tests, or should you wait until you see the surgeon!

      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.
