I just had my psych appointment last Saturday!! Pretty much the pysch doctor asked about my current eating patterns, all previous diets/attempts at weight loss, he asked about my self-image issues, how long I've been considering getting surgery (I'm 24 years old and I've found people think I've just jumped the gun on it.. I've been looking into it since I was 16.) The questionnaire was all on the computer. At the end, he read me the letter he was sending over to the doctor which was awesome because he recommended with no reservation that I have the gastric bypass surgery!!

Questions about binge eating.
Food addiction.
History of addiction or alcoholism.
Questions about my emotions.
It was pretty painless.
Took like 10-15 minutes.

Ok, so all that test includes are the same questions just asked in a different manner. You will identify the "crazy" questions. Mine asked me about my religious beliefs, my spirituality, which I thought was interesting. The only one I was questioned on was when it asked me if I felt like I was a failure to my children. I answered yes and she wanted to know why. I expressed that I was injured when my son was 11 and it took years to overcome that injury. I lost time with him and in that I felt like a failure. I guess she was worried I was depressed. I honestly think that every parent feels like they've failed their children at some point.

      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.
