Psych!



Recommended Posts

Seen the psych today and it was easier than I thought. Took about 30 mins and all he asked was general questions. Got my clearance letter and was back home an hour later. So cardiology is done, pulmonology is 1/2 done (need to get sleep study which is next week), psych done, nutritionist next week and gastro in 2 weeks. Just 2 more months of doc's visits every 2 weeks apart and I'll be submitting paperwork. On a bad note, blood work came back and as expected, low Iron, vit D and doc wants me to take Glucophage :-( On a disgusting note, while at the psych, he kept picking his nose ewww, was all jittery & twitchy and tried to shake my hand when leaving (no thank you sir and where's the hand sanitizer?? Lol but I'm excited to share this with you guys since my significant other can care less. Have a nice weekend everyone!!

I was totally baffled by this psych. His clothes were all wrinkled, his pants were hanging below his belt so I could see his underwear. He was sweaty and twitching. He ended up getting teary eyed and borderline angry cuz he had a family emergency. Kinda felt like he was the one that needed some type of therapy. Very odd experience indeed O_o

      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.
