So I had my Psych evaluation this morning, I would love to hear how you felt about yours, mine had the "tests" pencil and paper but also a 45 min conversation that felt like 2 hrs. She asked where I was raised then went on to how many times I cry then on to something else then something else then she asked me if I knew what it would take for me to live after surgery and keep the weight off why I felt I could not do this without the surgery...WELL...how do you answer that without giving TMI!!! Lady I need a freaking stop button! The she blurts out of nowhere: "You are too hard on yourself aren't you?" I don't even know what to tell this lady at that point but thank God it ended. I really find therapy interesting but is it normal for them to pick and poke like that, I think I would rather journal or talk to a close friend. Here is my favorite question: "Do you think you overeat to fill an emotional need?" I consider myself deep but seriously I didn't know what to say I don't know what my emotional pit is this was way too deep girls that's all I can say.

This Psych eval was exhausting... can't wait to see the surgeon on the 23 of November.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

I honestly found my psych eval laughable. The little "true false" questions I had to answer made me giggle through most of it. The strongly disagree, somewhat disagree, neither, somewhat agree, strongly agree questions really made me laugh. The actual meeting with the psych was good, he was direct, and to the point which I appreciate. He found my candor, and brutally honest opinions refreshing. He cleared me with flying colors. I read the eval and the personality profile was a bit off, but I really didn't put much stock in the questions so that is why I'm sure the test found me to a bit of an "introvert". I really laughed at that title because I'm the furthest thing from introverted.

Overall, it was a long appointment, but gave me some insight on how to handle life post-op.

Tiffykins, you had a great experience, they didn't give me anything and I left there feeling like I don't have a personality but they said that stuff goes to the bariatric clinic. Yes the questions were funny at times:

Do you think you are good at anything you do? (Yes I am super confident that's why I ended up overweight!)

Do you like being bossed around? (I thought...no...do you? but there was only *true or *false)

Are you lying on this questionnaire?(If you can't trust me then...)

LOL.. Pull out a big ol'Poor Boy sandwich and start yelling lady you are stressing me out. And start eating.
