DMV/New Picture/NSV



Recommended Posts

after 100 lb weight loss, I wanted new picture for drivers license

talked to clerk about my wt loss and WLS - he told me he had gastric bypass 5 years ago (small world)- and except for about 5-10 lbs he sometimes teeters with, he's doing great (water, Protein et al - doing terrific) - he lost 170 lbs and he looked great

even though clerk didn't have the sleeve, its nice to see someone "long term" post WLS - continue to be successful

i have heard some people do gain all their weight back, i guess that can happen to any of us :angry: (not to me of course!!! ;) )

he called other clerk over, showed my old license to her - they both couldn't believe it was me!!! :)

If i do say so myself ( and I do!!!) my new picture is pretty darn good - all modesty aside i DO look great :lol: - feel great too ;)

I agree that you are an inspiration to us all. Also, getting a new driver's license is an NSV I hadn't even considered yet--thanks for giving me one more thing to look forward to!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
