What happens in psychotherapy visit



Recommended Posts

I will be having my psychotherapy visit soon. What does this visit include? What will they discuss and talk about? I've never done anything like this before?

I just had mine last week. Nothing to it. Basically he asks you some questions concerning your weight history. It probably won't take 20 minutes. After the talk you have to answer a booklet of questions. Turn it into the front desk and leave.

It's different seems like everywhere. She only asked me question about family,friends and food. When you eat and do you have a support group. Lasted about 20-30 minutes no questioners here. Just stick to the questions don't add any extra. The more you talk the more they sit and listen and read between the words. That's there job!!!

Well first they strap you to a table and put electrodes on your body. Then they give you a small 50,000 volt shock. LOL.

Just kidding. All they do is ask you questions. It is very easy and simple. Be honest with them and don't give them any additional information unless they ask. Mine took less than 20 minutes and I filled out the questioner while si waiting room.

      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.
