Recommendations for behavioral psy*****entral NJ
Hi,
I already have my pre-op psych consult...but I'm looking for more help going forward to help me not fall back into bad patterns, and just generally help with problem-solving ideas. Part of the reason I am where I am now is I cannot seem to plan meals for the family. Dinner is always something on the run that's not usually a wise choice.
Also who are your nutritionist recommendations? I would love if someone just gave me a month's worth of menu's and shopping lists and told me to follow it.

Hi Rita,
Why not talk with the psychologist who did your pre-op?
If you liked them they might be a good choice. It is likely that they have experience in this field.
I do not know anyone personally in south Jersey, sorry
I do think it is a good idea to do what you are thinking of. This is a life changing process and help during such a journey is a good idea.
