Had my psych eval!

[AmberFL 1,018]

Hi all,

So I just had my psych eval and he told he that he is clearing me! He wants me to meet with the dietician, start only calorie counting (I was doing WW to lose the pre-op weight goal), and wants me to continue my Vitamins ( I had wrong ones). Anyways! this is awesome news- how long after this do I get my surgery date?

Yaaay!!! Congrats!! If that was the last of your clearances, you should email your surgeon's office to let them know it has been completed and ask what the next steps are. Usually that prods them to get everything together to submit for approval.

this was the last of them I believe! He said that I need to stick to the Vitamins, Decaf, no alcohol and be strict because surgery will be with in 30days? But i have to weigh in today (not worried I have am less than the goal they gave me) but they want me to meet with the dietician.

Also, I am not a fan of her! she is just cold, and not helpful. I communicated this to the psych and idk if that will hinder that.

she won't care about your comment about the dietitian (well, she may CARE if the dietitian is a friend of hers, but it's not going to change her mind about clearing you for surgery). They're more concerned with things like mental illnesses or certain behaviors that could hinder people from being able to follow the program.

Yea the only thing that I communicated to him that he asked if we needed to dig deeper was my concern in shift of my relationship when losing weight. I told him no its a me thing and I have spoken to my partner about this concern in length.

Your relationship may or may not change - and sometimes they actually get better! (mine did, for one..)

my SO does not have weight issues and when he met me I was about 20lbs smaller than I am now. So I worry if he just wont be attracted to me like he is now. If that would hurt our relationship. Time will tell I am doing this for my health.
