Im Finally Legal Again....



Recommended Posts

I am now finally, officially, legal again! My weight actually matches what my drivers licence says!! WHOOT! I went in for a fill today and actually got complimented on how well I have done in my journey with the band. I never thought I would have such nice comments!!

That's great! Your story is encouraging! I renewed my license recently and had dreaded the process for months in advance because I had gained 67 pounds since my last renewal and felt like an utter failure. The woman who helped me at the license facility was very nice, though, and it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. However, I am hopeful the next time I renew my license that I can actually give a much lower weight.

When I first was banded and going to my 6 week emotional eating group we were asked what one of our goals was. Mine was to weigh what my driver's licence said, 158 pounds! Funny thing is I took a new pic a few days before my surgery and I was 238! Guess I shouldn't say funny but he didn't ask me any questions. Needless to say my pic is horrendous. Going to go in soon and retake my picture, this time I'm gonna put my goal weight of 140!

I now look like nothing like my photo's on my driver's liscence and my passport. We'll be traveling in June. Wonder if this will be a problem

I am so glad that drivers licences here don't have your weight on them. It is bad enough that they have your DOB in numbers so big you could see them from a mile away even if you were shortsighted!

I wish our state didnt have weight on it, but alas they do. Military ID has it too so I cant escape it being written! I cant wait to go have it changed when it drops more!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
