So today I had my psych eval. Prior to going I spent maybe 3 hrs filling out the booklet questionnaire and another 3 page packet of papers . I had to pay $275 as it was not something we could submit their insurance

Anyway I went to the appointment and she never asked for the packet when I asked her about packets and she said she didn't need it ( almost like she was unprepared )

Anyway I have to wait 3 to 4 days for her recommendation did that happen to anyone else? When I have been reading about this it seemed like many of you go your results that same day.

She said a lot of time the recommend more counseling is this going to hold up my surgery

The Dr that did my psych evaluation told me at the end of the session that "all was good" & she would forward report to my surgeon.

Mine was 15-25 minutes. Self pay. Did a little mental exam like what's the date, how to spell something, who was the president. Then was sent home with a personality test 500 questions. And was done, not once asking me anything about over eating.

I had a 3 hr consult. He told me his recommendations right there in his office and sent them to the Bariatrics clinic that night via fax.

      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.
