Shrinky Dinky Doo

Jan 09, 2010

I had a meeting with the psychologist yesterday.  I was shocked to hear that I will be meeting with him multiple times.  ????  Wha????  I've looked around and have seen that different people have different experiences with their psych. eval.  Yesterday was a "talking" meeting.  Monday I go back for a "testing" meeting.  

I felt fine about the session with the shrink.  At the end he told me that mostly they were looking to make sure I didn't have unrealistic expectations about weight loss surgery....which I don't.  He also said that optimistic people usually do better than skittish ones.  Most of my life is lived optimistically, so no worries there.

I'm getting the feeling inside that I want to start getting ready for surgery and recovery, so I'm trying to be better about working out.  Something I read said that surgeons like patients who are more fit.  I want all this to go as well as possible and if working out more accomplishes that, then that's what I'll be doing.
