I don't have to LIE anymore!



Recommended Posts

So all my life I have lied on my drivers license about my weight. Yesterday I was looking at my license and it hit me BAM I'm under the weight on the license! WOW its a first ever! ~~~happy dance~~~

Also don't judge me because I lied.. I'm sure I'm NOT the only one who lies on their license ;-)

Of course we all lie on our drivers license! Unfortunately, mine may never be truthful :( I STRETCH my height just a little as well...and I don't see myself going to Korea and getting my calves lengthened anytime soon...then again, I did have 85% of my stomach removed...maybe having my lower legs cut in half wearing braces and painfully stretching apart the break to introduce more bone growth for a couple inches might not be so bad...lol. Yeah, no.

That's it I'm moving to New York!!

I just pulled out my newest drivers license to see what lie I told this time :P

For the last 10 years or so I lied and said 145 on each of my licenses .. But this newest one it was quite obvious that that wouldn't work anymore (they could barely fit my face into the picture :P)

So I said 170, not much further now :D

I KNOW I have done that and I am sure that each attendant looks at me and with an eye roll accepts my 50lb cushion on the license.

Just recently I went into Game Stop to pick up a game and I forgot my Power Up card so they needed my license. I looked at it and saw my swollen face and remember the day I too that picture I had just gotten off of a 14 hr flight from Japan. I looked rough. Now, I am 40lbs lighter than in the picture.

I jokingly say to the man to not look at my picture as I am sure I don't look like that anymore.

His response was, "You look completely different now and much better in person."

Weird compliment, but I took a mental note to remind me to update my license.

We don't put a weight on DL in Michigan. I think it's because the whole state is too fat! But it's been working for me for years.

Ok break out the sad violins for this one!!

One of the reasons why I bumped up my weight on the newest one, was not only because I had gained even MORE. It was because when I was at the DMV renewing my license the boy/man behind the counter looked at my pervious license and said.. Not kidding now he actually said.

"Wow you used to be hot" I am not rendered speechless many times (as some as you know:p)

But I was that day, at that moment. I took my new picture put a bigger weight on the form and went home and cried.

My husband was pissed and wanted to go back and complain (bless him) but I said lets just let it go, the man behind the counter was a simple man and had a simple though and made a simple comment... Which by the way I would not of liked even if he thought I was still "hot" I don't want to be "hot" or not I want to be me and happy.

But every time I see that picture on that drivers license? I see that day.

... sad violins playing slowly comes to an end...

Well aren't we all glad they don't ask us to STEP on a scale at the DMV?? For YEARS my weight on my license was from when I was 15. Finally when I was in my 20's somewhere along the way I felt that I could NOT in all honesty keep that weight on there. So I upped it by about 50lbs and it was still about 50lbs shy of what I REALLY weighed. lol.

Now that I'm in my 40's I finally told my real weight. ;)

      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.
