@Sleeve_Sistah85 yeah I'm glad I took my surgeons advice and saw my psych for the eval early because he had a whole list of crap he wanted me to do...which isn't always the case but better you know now if you need to versus at the end and delaying things!

@Sleeve_Sistah85 unfortunately I found out I have to wait until June for some extra things I have to do for the psychologist....but I'm over my bummed out phase

Why are you aggravated?!

You know what I've been doing ....it is silly but it gets my exercise in cuz I sweat like none other...but I've been playing those dance games on my wii the just dance and Michael Jackson experience lol

@vmcelroy70611 that's exciting!! ...but I'm sure an excruciating wait lol I did mine very early since I figured I would have some extra requirements so hopefully everything will all kind of come in and fall together at the same time to turn in!

@Sleeve_Sistah85 buuutttt I was actually planning on June anyway since I am moving apartments in April so I wanted to get settled before I did the surgery so it kinda is all happening the way it should!

@Sleeve_Sistah85 it typically is....I have some mental health history that requires me to do some extra things to get official clearing from the psychologist but my diet is only 6 months I just gave to go to one support group a month until June because that will be a year since I officially started treatment after a hospitalization due to depression which is required by my "center of excellence" where I'm getting my surgery.

Thank you! ....is three sessions like a regulation or something in dc? I only have one but was told could have follow ups if the psych deems necessary...

Right? That's what I was worried about!

@cindyt Soot went really well. It's nothing like what I thought a "supervised diet" was going to be. She gave me an eating chart to make a better balanced plate and an awareness chart for when I am wanting to set or started to eat to figure out whether I'm actually hungry or if there is another reason why I'm eating. She said if I loose weight great but this time is more about education in order to make better choices for the long term after surgery. She said I may loose about a pound a week if I limit myself to 2000 to 2200 calories a day. She also said to do 10 mins of cardio or some type of exercise 5 times a week. I'm also supposed to start making food journal and going to support groups.

Right there with ya! Month one here we go lol!
