Well I jave a n app with PCP the 7th for him to fill out my paper work o recieved from the surgeon then got a call today have my sleep apnea consult the 18th! Then the Psych eval and 1st Nut class the 22nd. December seems like its going to be a busy month ☺

Can't wait, I was pretty nervous about the Psych eval however I think I was just over thinking n worrying like I usually do n shouldn't be. I'm not crazy I'm a woman lol I have feelings n emotions and some days there all over so as long as they understand that we will be fine. ????????

Ok well, just excited n chit chatting n hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Happy Monday!

I have a funny story about the psych eval. I had mine 2 weeks after my baby was born. She had a difficult delivery (43 hours of labor followed by a C-section). Had to take her back to hospital the day after she was released. Had a 5 day hospital stay. Then I am home for 4 days and get a call that she has the CF gene and had to get further testing. Had my psych eval 3 days prior to my daughters genetic test so I was in a state. I started crying in his office so he approved my surgery but wanted me to see another psychologist in the practice. Fast forward 2 weeks, my daughter was OK, I got a new job, and I finally got some sleep. The new psychologist said (after an hour talk), "Well, I'm not really sure why he referred you to me, because you seem absolutely normal."

December will be busy for you, but that's a good thing. Good luck on this journey!

      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.
