Pschyological evaluation



Recommended Posts

It was much easier than I expected. Basically my doctor answered his own questions and I agreed with him, lol. He'd say, "why do you want this surgery....for health reasons?" And I'd say "yes."

Just be honest. I think they just want to make sure you know what you are getting into, and that you are not expecting one procedure to magically fix every single problem in your life. They'll ask a bit about if you have a support system in place. It's really not that scary. Good luck!

My psychologist evaluation was about 40 minutes long. I first had this 50 questionnaire that I needed to do. Then, the psychologist called me in his office, and he asked me several things like, do I believe in God, do I gamble, have I ever been arrested, any drug addiction, any DUIs, how's my relationship with my family, who am I closest to, etc etc.

Why would they ask if you believe in god ? That's bizarre ! Maybe it's to see if you're deluded !?! Thankfully no psychological evaluation needed for me in Australia.

      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.
