Not braggy at all, it's practical. Look at your passport also. I got stopped twice during a cruise because I do not look a thing like my passport picture anymore.

The entry officer had me pulled aside and re screened and eventually let on the ship.

The exit officer looked at me, looked at my passport and eyed me up and down. I was getting nervous until she said "Damn Girl!!!" Get yourself a new picture! " and then let me through after telling me good job:)

You look great!! Go get yourself a new pic! I think anything that makes us feel better about ourselves I am all for it!!

Here in AZ our licenses are good till I think we are 62. I will be 47 this year and plus the pic on my license is a pic of when I was a little lighter so I think I may wait till I am closer to goal. I know the weight listed on my drivers license is 199, I am almost there. LOL

Not braggy at all! Lol, I have intentionally been super careful with my license because I have a really great picture on it and if I have to get another one done, there is no way I will look as good as the old one. I had to get a different kind of license about a year ago and I look horrendous in the picture- if they let me go get a new one, I absolutely would!

I was at the airport last week flying to Vegas with my wife for our anniversary. The TSA agent looked at my license, then at me, then double checked my license, then back to me again and said, "Wow! You look great! Awesome work!" It was really nice to hear from someone completely removed from the whole process. The fact the she was a rather attractive member of the opposite sex didn't hurt either!

Wow, great transformation @@kimpossible67! Congratulations!!! Mine looks crazy too. It's funny because before surgery the weight on my license was off by 60 pounds. It's still off by 60 pounds, but in the other direction! LOL!!!

I had to make a copy of mine yesterday and was amazed at how fat I looked! My license expires in June and I'll definitely be taking a new pic. I have to give my license when I go to my kids school and there was a lady at the desk who is not the regular secretary. She kept looking at the license and looking at me. I could tell she wanted to ask me but she didn't.

Say what? 62??? I'm in Michigan, ours are renewed every 4 years. Mine only lists height but they ask for weight so it's in their records.

Good for you you're almost there!!!

The one thing that fascinated me the most is I have a mole on my neck. You can't see it in the license pic after I edited it. I can see it and it's almost down in the area of my collarbone. Now it's back up on my neck where it belongs lol. Funny the strange and random things we discover.

I was at the dr the other day. I cross my legs all the time cuz I CAN! I was told to uncross them while my bp was taken lol. I told her, "but it's just so entertaining that I can!!!"

      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.
