If you can pay for the psych eval and don't stress yourself out. Remember its all about the hoop jumping. Just get through these last hoops and your done.

Seriously, any Psychiatrist worth his license could not meet with any of us ONCE and really tell anything about us! My "Psych Evalulation" took about 45 minutes and the guy ended up writing the wrong name on the evaluation that's how involved/interested he was in me or maybe I was just not that impressive! :heh:

I don't disagree with you at all, but the problem was - the psych eval was stressing me out. That is why I chose to go with another doctor, and I'm sure glad I did. In fact, everything had been going quite smoothly with all my insurance hoops up until that point.

I don't think he was completely disinterested in me, however. His report was pretty detailed, and kept good notes on what we discussed. For me and my other co-patients, going to our eval are just being judged on whether or not we have any major psychological worries, that might need to be addressed prior to surgery.

Anyway, I'm just glad it's over... :clap2:

      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.
