Just got cleared for surgery from the psych eval :D



Recommended Posts

I had my psych evaluation on June 26th, I was nervous because I did not know what would come of it. Last week he called me to let me know he cleared me for the gastric bypass surgery. All I have left to do is the nicotine test, which I plan on doing this week. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Im excited to take the next chapter of my life as becoming healthy. There are many reasons I want to do this; one is to start my own family and not have any major health issues come about. I will update more when I find out a date for surgery. ^_^

Congratulations! How exciting! I have to admit, the psych eval is the one that troubles me most, because I'm a bit of a quirky personality and either people think I'm crazy or incredibly funny or they hate me from the moment I say hi. I don't know why.....I just elict strong emotions from people! LOL I'm hoping I don't go in there and say something totally assanine and end up getting a referral for my "obvious" mental problems. LOL

Very cool. Another hurdle cleared !!!

My little sister had bypass surgery in her early 20's.

She went on to great, great things.......dating, marriage, two awesome kids and she's been fit and lean ever since her surgery results....some 15 years ago. Amazing success story that gives me great confidence as I follow her lead.

Best wishes for you.

      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.
