I am just outside of DC. My sleeve is January 11th. I'd be happy to share when I'm back home. I also need to find a local doctor for my post-op care, so I may need referrals from you all.

Pray, Speak, Do! ~Meesh~

How are you? Just checking in

Hi everyone I'm from Fairfax, Va. I have to set up a psych evaluation but am nervous about it. Can you tell me what types of questions they ask and how long it takes?

Don't be nervous! They ask some pretty general questions and then give you an online form to fill out. Just answer honestly and you will be ok.

My interview was like a general conversation. We talked about what I've done/am doing to prepare for this life change, what got me to this point, my weight and diet history, eating habits, and my support system. It lasted about 45min-1hr.

Don't be, I actually took a computerized test that asked a trillion questions. But very simple things like I am very happy in my life right now?

      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.
