I have had all my appointments except for the follow up with my surgeon and my psych eval!! I am currently away at college so I am waiting till May to have my surgery. The hardest part is waiting for it to come! To anyone who had to have a psych eval what do they ask you?

Also, I am on a liver reduction diet that requires multiple Protein Shakes a day. Does anyone have any favorite recipes that I can try!

The meeting with psychiatrist involves several questions about your reasons for wanting this surgery, your support system, and how you've been feeling. Mine also involved a general questioner with multiple questions and a "yes/no" response key.

The physche eval is no big deal. Mostly they use it to ensure you are ready and to make sure you havent had an eating disorder in the past that has gone untreated.

Honestly when it comes to Protein shakes everyone's taste is different and your tastes could change post op as well.

I have tried many and I really like Premier Protein ready made shakes. There is no grit, no nasty powder smell, they are super easy because there are no blenders or shaker cups to deal with.

I take them with when I travel.

They have a whopping 30 grams of Protein, 1 gram of sugar and 160 calories. The chocolate is the best as it is not overly sweet but they also have vanilla and strawberry cream too,

You can buy them at both costco and Sam's in 18 packs. They are on sale at costco for $5.00 off in January. You can also get smaller packs at some Walgreens and Walmart.< /p>

      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.
