Mental preparedness class?



Recommended Posts

On a separate day from the pre-op diet class, I am scheduled for a "mental preparedness class".

Wasn't passing the 3-hour psychological evaluation evidence enough I'm mentally prepared?

Seriously, what else is there to talk about?

I've read each of the 5 books recommended twice.

Somehow I think I don't know what I don't know.

Do any of you know?

Three hour class? I remember mine only lasted for 30minutes and she just asked about my family's health and myself as a kid. Im not sure how more prepared you could be if you read five books!

Mine was 20 min of which mostly we talked about the psych's upcoming orthopaedic surgery. Lol. AND was charged $175.

I actually wish I could have a mental preparedness class. I'm sure it's geared for wls patients.

I am curious. What 5 books were recommended for you to read?

      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.
