Psych Evaluation is Done!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I went and had my psych evaluation on Tuesday, August 19th. I was so nervous because I didn't know what to expect. Everything went well, as others said there is a questionnaire that I had to take which consisted of 500 questions. They questions was mainly of how you feel about things and your mental state. After that was done then I talked with the doctor; he was funny and made me feel comfortable. He was funny but at the same time he was serious talking to me and giving me insist on what to look for after having the gastric sleeve. When I checked my email this morning my psych report was there. I am happy to say I have been cleared mentally to have the surgery. I know this is only a tool and I know I will make a lot of life changes in order for my wls to be successful. I am not going through all of this just to have the surgery and fail at it. I am dedicated to make this changes for a better and healthier Wanda.

Anyone who is nervous about your psych evaluation, don't be just be yourself and everything will be just fine.

Have a good afternoon.

So glad it went well for you! And it sounds like you have the perfect mindset for the surgery!

I find that many people seem to undervalue the importance of the nutritionist and psychologist on their sleeve journey. They are incredible resources to help us with many factors that will help us in our success.

      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.
