I Passed....BUT..

I passed my Psy Eval BUT I gotta go for counseling..... Back in the 1980's!!!!!!! I was a Bulimic and now I guess I need THEREAPY!!!!! I am so bummed out I could just cry. That's what I get for being honest......I need therapy for 6 weeks And of course I signed up before I left his office.......so I guess there is a message there from GOD that maybe I was not ready....or something like that.... I'm bummed but STILL going to move on and do what I have to - to have my surgery. Bummed but not BROKEN YET!!! Cindy

I know its not what you want to hear but...... You got to have your head right.... Im amazed all the things Im learning about my self and the feelings that I have about food. Now you know Cindy Im not saying your heads not right.... YOu know what there looking for so give it to them and use this time to be insightful. Jenny B Wise

That was sooooooo long ago - like 22-25 years and I don't even think about that - its over and in the past. Never thought or even considered doing that again since then but he said that it could pop up again....lots of people have that problem!!! So I will get thru it and sit back and be insightful and do what I have to. Thanks, Cindy

Cindy don't be bummed. To tell the truth, i wish i would have gone through counseling pre op, i think we all need it to understand our addiction and to make sure we don't fall back into the same patterns post op. Six weeks isn't long, you'll breeze right through it. Hugs Linda

I thank you for your kind words.....I never dreamed that it could be an issue now..That was so long ago and I don't even relate to that anymore...but it is an issue to them and I guess I cannot blame them. I know where my head is at anyways.....any maybe there is something in there that god wants me to see or learn..... Thanks again, Cindy

Well, that 6 weeks will fly by faster than you think. It won't be long. Cindy you have overcome a lot of obstacles. Don't look at this as one of those obstacles. Look at it as just one more thing to make you stronger. I'll be right here for you whenever you need me. Just do what is good for your health (physical and mental) and everything will fall into place. (Big hug) Mary

I am gonna hang in there.....you know how my mind works.....I'm always thinking - 24 hours a day!!! Your boss says do what I have to do and laughed in my face when I said that I would make up my time!!!!!!! I've come too far - ya know. And it is good that you are having your soon. You and I will educate ourselves and make all the other people in our support group just focus on us!!!!!!!! Wait - they already do that!!! Love Ya, Cindy

That boss of ours is a good one! Whether we have this on the same day or on different days, we are still doing this thing together! We're a team!

It's won't be long now, Cindy.... You'll catch up to Mary Lou in no time. Won't even recognize you two by Christmas time. That's really great that you have each other for support. Don't you two want to go down to Southfield on Saturday? I'll drive.

Hi Dora, I'm not gonna give up. I'm going to focus on Mary's surgery and learning along with her and do exactly what they want me to do. BUT.....I'm sure gonna make sure we discuss WLS and not so much me. I can redirect questions too - even to a counselor!! Thanks for the Saturday invite but we are going to have a rummage sale this weekend!!!! Thanks for the encouragement!!! Cindy
