I don't remember certain questions but they want to make sure you aren't suicidal and you're having this surgery for the right reasons (so that they don't believe you'll become anorexic post op)

besides talking to the Psych person you will take a large test, Just answer the questions truthfully but be careful seems they throw a couple in that are kinda trick questions so read them carefully and answer with your best answer and you should be fine.

I didn't have to take a test- do it varies from psych to psych. Just be honest and you will be fine

The test i did was like 589 questions. Like if your suicidal or like to commit felonies or arson and in the test also is like a personality test like if your a team person or like doing stuff alone. Sees if your like a leader or a follower and some that were way out there to see if your a sociopath

I was with my psych for 20m, he asked things like.. if I cried that week, if I thought about suicide, If I hid my eating, if I purged, then asked if I had thought about surgery for more or less than 2 years. My doc was a weirdo though, he was 35m late for appt, then was more concerned about his dogs in doggie day camp with the webcam, then talking to me about the surgery. Then when I paid his $170 fee, he took out his wallet and put it in, right in front of me. Very different experience. LOL

      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.
