I just did mine. Written part is truly common sense. In the discussion portion, they are looking for several things: how realistic are your expectations, what does your support system look like, how committed are you to the vast changes needed to be successful with diet and exercise. I'd never seen a Psych Doc or been in Therapy, so I was nervous too, but it was really fine.

Waiting for the results of my psych eval. Get them tomorrow morning along with my consult. This is the last step for me in order to be approved for my vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I am nervous abot getting the results. I have problems with depression and anxiety anyway, so I see a therapist twice a week. She will continue to be part of my support team. I was very honest when I took the test. I thought the psychologist and surgeon deserved to truly know the real me. I want this surgery badly for so many reasons. Wish me luck.

I have depression and anxiety, and I was worried that that might negatively impact me, too. But the psychologist just encouraged me to monitor my anxiety and to come see her if at any point I started to feel like it was too much, and she said I was good to go. Got my surgery last Thursday. :) So I know you will be fine! Sending you good vibes. Best of luck!

      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?

      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.
