Attention All-- Therapists/Counselors/social workers/psycologists?



Recommended Posts

So I've seen a huge thread for nurses! There seem to be alot- which is great they are needed(yay)!

I am curious as to how many human service workers we have here-- I've read some posts and the replies seem very therapeutic/techniquey lol

So-- I will be graduating w my master of science in mental health counseling in June and will finish all my hours in sept!!! I take the NCE on Saturday!!!

Anyone else in this profession??

I'm an LCSW - have been a therapist for 14 years. Love seeing my own therapist while on this journey - this surgery, the decision, and then the process afterwards is an intense one. I recommend it for everyone trying to reprogram their overweight brain.

I got my masters in Texas and it was the same degree program for those interested in working in the schools or wishing to become an LPC! I was only ever interested in working in the schools.

I'm a school counselor in CA, but my grad program was dual: school counseling and marriage and family therapy. I don't ever want to do private practice though.

Well I have a degree in SW that I do not use. I have been debating completing my masters. I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up ;)

I have too many passions!

Nothing compares to the schedule of a school counselor! And I like dealing with a bunch of stuff (college and career counseling in addition to personal/social).

      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.
