Had my Psychological Evaluation on Saturday



Recommended Posts

I thought it went really well. They said to set aside about an hour but the whole thing was about 26 minutes.

The woman was very nice. I assume it went flawlessly because when we were saying goodbye she said I hope your surgery goes well and good luck! I wasn't really too worried to start with because I think my heads in the right place regarding surgery but that is one more requirement done.

She also mentioned this site as a place I could come for re-enforcement and information. I told her I was already a member!

Well I think you can add passing the psych eval as an NSV! :-)

My eval lasted about 3 hours.

2 1/2 of which I spent filling out the questionnaire.

I don't know if it was part of the eval or not, but they didn't provide any desks or tables to write on.

So me and the other 2 guys were sitting there, trying to hold the clipboard/pencil in one hand and hold the 40 page questionaire in the other!

Talk about a pain. I was pissed they did that to us!

My evaluation went great. He told me I was fun and had a great head in my shoulders. He actually visited me in the hospital after my surgery and gave me a kiss on the cheek lol we do things differently in San Francisco Lmmfao

      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.
