LOL! I have wondered if the dmv people have secret giggles about that. Mine says 160, but the pic says 265. Someday I aim to be 150 and an honest woman!

My Texas driver's license has my height but not my weight. The picture is from the last time I was 175 or so before I gained a lot of weight. I am at least 10 or 15 pounds less than that picture. My height says 4'11". I do tell people I am 5'. I think I'm actually 4'11 1/2"

That is actually one of the mini- goals I listed out before surgery...when I get to the weight on my license, 240. That will be 80 lbs down from my highest weight...and I will get there in 24 more lbs! :)

Ok I had to get up and look at mine. It says 190# so I had bumped it up from 175#. I now weigh 219.6 # as of this morning. My HW 242# when I started this journey back in May I was 238#. I started high Protein low carb smaller portions and almost no sweets in July. But if I see something I want I eat it just smaller amounts. That said I still don't have insurance approval yet. But I want my next set to have the correct wt and hope its 145# or less. That's what my first one said 34 years ago.

I had to take a peek at my license and yep I lied. My license said I was 65 pounds less than I actually was. Now I weigh 50 pounds less than what it says. I think I'll wait til I'm one year out and "lose" my license and get a new one

My license says 140. When it was renewed in 2009, I was at 350. HUGE difference! I renewed online this past October. Can't wait till time to renew again and see how close I am to 140!

Despite the fact that I shaved 50 pounds off my actual weight on my current license, I am now under my listed weight of 375. I wonder how long before I start getting that weird look wondering if I'm trying to pull something using a different license.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
