I meet with a Behavioralist on Wednesday.. Kinda getting anxious/nervous. What should I expect? And what are things I should/shouldn't say?? Some times when i talk i over think and end up putting my foot in my mouth... Especially when I'm nervous!!

Just try being yourself. That is always the best answer.

I am so the same way. I was scared about meeting with her too. She only talks to your for a few minutes. She will ask you things like do you feel you will comit suicide if you have this done. Do you want to harm other if this is done. How will you deal with you addiction when you can not fill it with food anymore.

It is really easy. Don't worry.

Ok. That's good to know. I just found out that my babysitter has fallen through and I can't find anyone else to watch my 1 year old. Does anyone think it would be a horrible impression to drive my 1 year old into the appointment with me in his stroller? He's usually well behaved and I bring tons if things for him to play with when he has to accompany me to regular appointments. I just don't want the dr to think I'm crazy for bringing a baby. I literally have no one this short of notice

Just be truthful.....if you aren't honest with him/her, than you are only hurting yourself.

We had a conversation, and that was it....she was looking for addictive tendencies, possible depression, mental illness, eating disorders, things like that....

      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.
