So I'm sitting I'm sitting here waiting for my psychological evaluation to begin. I was so stressed out about this that I arrive at the office 2 hours early. This is nuts. I can't believe I got mixed up that way. I guess I'm just glad it wasn't 2 hours later because then I would have had to reschedule and probably postpone the process. This is driving me nuts lol. I just hope that I don't find out I'm crazy lol just venting thanks for reading. I will update you guys after the psychological evaluation :)

Today was my second psych appt of four. I took the mmpi which is a 575 question personality test. I answered honestly for the most part. Its nerve wrecking not knowing the results. Next week I go back for the qpi (some other test) and the week after I go back to talk about my results. Didn't know it took four appointmenrs for this. My patient advocate said all psychs are different. I just wanna know my results already!!!! Come on give me the green light lol

Wow that sounds like a really thorough eval! I'll count my blessing that I only had to have one psych appt. Hopefully I pass it ;)

I actually wound up getting frustrated and fed up with the "psych" part of surgery. My psych wanted me to come 4 additional times. I went 2 more times and told him that it was a waste of my time and money and I felt like it was a racket scheme for RYN patients. They wanted me to come back after surgery, too, but I canceled that appointment right after surgery. At $177 each visit... No thank you!

Wow I hope I don't have 4 visits or 3, or 2. I have to drive 2.5 hrs for mine in a couple of weeks. I haven't even done it and I'm already annoyed with it. Lol

Jessica. can't wait to start this journey.

Psych is one thing I was scared of prior to surgery but it goes easy. They just want to make sure you habe someone to support you and that you are not anorexic, bulimic or a binge eater

      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.
