Psych

At my appointment with the psychologist. So nervous. Funny thing is I am a Psych nurse. Oh help me.

I don't know if you've had an opportunity to read up on the psy eval, but it was pretty easy.

The doc only wanted to know that I knew what I was getting myself into.

And was mentally prepared to make the changes necessary to be successful at WLS.

He wasn't out to disqualify me, after all, it was in his best interest to see that I passed.

I'm sure my doc would not refer his patients to a psych. that disqualified his patients for frivolous reasons.

Mine was easy peasy. Only took about 20 minutes and she spoke in welcoming conversational tones. All in all it covered my knowledge of the procedure, how my life would change, support system, expectations, family and diet history, etc. There were no written tests as I know some have had. Best of luck!

I'm late to the party, but will still remind you that the cobbler's children have no shoes. And the shrink is crazy as a bedbug. And....

Some things are universal.

Glad your appt. went well.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
