Finally Stopped Lying to the DMV



Recommended Posts

I realized the other day that this is maybe the first time in my life I weigh LESS than it says on my driver's license. Who's with me?

I am glad my state doesn't require weight, saves me from telling a Lie!! Can't wait for the day when I no longer have to tell the nurse in my doctors office, to not to say my weight out loud cause I don't want my husband to hear. :huh:

Why would it have your weight on it anyway?! Weird!!! I'm in Scotland!!! My weight used to change on a daily basis!!! So would almost always be a lie if I had to put something on it!

It's for identification purposes,weight fluctuates but for most people their weight is generally stable. Suppose you were in an accident and multiple people were in the car, your ID would help them identify you. There are soooo many other scenarios where this information would be helpful.

This is a big NSV I'm hoping for! I've been thinking about it for months. I have to renew my license on my birthday this year (March 7th) and I'm 22 pounds from the weight on there now. I want to be at that weight when I renew in a few months. I'm 6 months out and have slowed to an average of 10-11 lbs/month so I'm going to be cutting it close but I'm really hoping!

I need a new picture. I mean I REALLY need a new picture. California is really stingy about doing that too. I was walking around for 15 years with my 16 year old self on the license. The last couple times I renewed they would not take a new one.

Now the picture is of me 100 pounds heavier. I should demand a new picture and say they refused to take my identification fro my credit card purchases.

      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.
