Dharriott-I hear mine will only be Protein Shakes and as many apples and bananas I want. I will do whatever the dr says but yours sounds much more pleasing. Lol

Hi everyone! Can any of you share your psych eval experience. I have mines in two days and super anxious and nervous. This is the last step to submit my claim to the insurance. Should I be worried or no. Thanks!

Mirabb2002-my psych eval was my last appt prior to submitting. It lasted all of 10 or 15 min. Her questions were really geared to make sure I didn't have any mental health issues that can hinder the surgery from being successful. No questions out of the ordinary. History if Weightloss attempts. Why surgery. Do I suffer from bulimia. I definitely would not worry about it.

So I just finished all my required tests for clearance. My surgery approved it the day of my first appointment. All I have left us my psych/nutrition appointment on March 12. So I call the surgeon just to make sure that all results were received and she tells me she sees no appointment in the book for March 12. I flipped!! It's a three month wait. I made this appointment back on DECEMBER!! I'm totally pissed. All this work and the quick approval and I still might be waiting 6 months. Makes me want to stuff my face with a cheeseburger.

      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.
