Had my psych eval yesterday and it went great. Only about 45 minutes. She (the counselor) and I chatted about my history, my family, etc. She had already gotten my chart from my doctors, so she already knew my situation. She ended the session by letting me know she was approving me for the surgery and sending her notes to my surgeon that same afternoon.

It was a really easy evaluation. No test of any kind, no hoops to jump through, etc. Just a consultation with a counselor. I couldn't be happier.

My surgeon is on vacation this week, then I am on vacation next week, but I am scheduled to see him again on 10/09 when I get back. I have everything done that I needed to do prior to scheduling my surgery date, so I am confident I will be able to schedule at that appointment. I need 7-day pre-op liquid fast and then surgery.

Yea!

      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.
