I didnt have the guts to have a phychological evaluation; I was afraid they would lock the doors and call the padded truck to come and get me.

So I went for a consulatation with a reg. dietition... much safer for me! ;)

Thanks everyone, now I just have to be accepted by the Dr.

I am really hoping to have my surgery in Feb, because I only have one

art show. The rest of the month I could recoup.

Thanks again, looking forward to a firm date..

It should be smooth sailing from here on...I don't know why the psych eval seems to bother many of us so much...but it sure does! :nervous

I know what you mean about not wanting to go to the phych, I guess people who have self esteem problems in the first place feel uncomfortable being evaluated.

Congrats, Rachel! That's a big step. It probably won't be long now before you get that wonderful approval letter.

      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.
