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



Recommended Posts

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).

That way cool!

I have a master's in counseling as well. I focused on school counseling and was planning on doing the extra classes/internships in order to work on my LPC. I moved right after graduation though and the city I moved to didn't have anywhere for me to take those classes. That was 8 years ago. I have worked in social services in family preservation/reunification for many years though. Currently unemployed (by choice) in order to focus on traveling with my husband (he has a really flexible schedule). One day I hope to go back to counseling but even my school license is currently expired so I'll have to deal with that. For now, I'm loving not working!

      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.
