alysia got a reaction from annam1978 in KPNW Sunnyside RNY Process
Hi there! I'm in WA state and have Kaiser insurance. I had to do my sleep study, then wear my cpap for 6 weeks. Not sure if that was required by my surgeon or insurance. I was not required to do any supervised weightloss thankfully! My big delay was the cpap. Then a blood draw, psych eval and gallbladder ultrasound and they submitted. They approved in about 2 days after submitting everything. Good luck!![emoji6]

I'm SO ready for surgery already! Day 7 of my liquid diet, 7 to go. I'm struggling for sure. 1/2 way done though, I know I can do it! How are your preop diets going?

alysia reacted to nursejenny07 in Plastics done :)
Just got home from the hospital! Still feeling pretty darn well, just a bit sore! I am still in awe over how well this whole thing has gone! I'm also attaching some pics to show my progress. The first is from right before my gastric sleeve when I was 262 lbs. second was from the morning of LBL and liposuction surgery at 169 lbs. Third is 2 days post op. Haven't weighed myself since surgery, and I'm still definitely swollen, but feel terrific

alysia reacted to Vinasu in How has your family changed since your WLS?
I've got two kids, 11 and 7. I have always gone out of my way to make certain they get healthy foods and healthy portion sizes. It was hell for me growing up fat, and I do not want the same for them. Therfore, our diet overall did not really change. I cut out carbs from dinner, but they have them Breakfast and lunch (which I make for them).
I've always told my kids they must participate in a sport. I don't care which, but they must be active. Both of them do Tae Kwon Do and love it, so since I was always at the dojang with them, I joined up. I love it, and they love having me in class.
When we go out to eat, my husband and I look for things we can split. He changes his order to accommodate me, and I really appreciate it. We go out a lot more for sushi than we used to because sashimi is always a great choice for me.
I hate coffee and licorice, so now when someone brings home a treat, it's mocha or tiramisu or something else I won't touch. Mostly, though, when they need something special, my husband will drive them to the frozen yogurt shop or the patisserie. They're careful not to bring temptation into the house.
My husband and kids used to go out a lot without me. Now, I'm always with them. This winter we've gone skiing, to the trampoline park, hiking, ice skating, and biking. Last year, I couldn't have done any of those things. My family is so happy that I'm a full participant in their lives now.
