Holy. Crap. (nsv)



Recommended Posts

So, with getting married and changing my last name, I got a new drivers license. My old drivers license had the original picture on it from when I was 17 (which is years before my highest weight).

Holy. Crap.

I'm honestly as disgusted by this as I am excited by it.

I just saw another post that was about Drivers license and she said it was the first time she actually weighed less than what was on her drivers license, and I realized oh man me too alot less and the picture on my license looks like it could be my Mom, my birthday is next month and (I have to get a new one) I could keep my picture but no way, I have worked hard to get it I am gonna smile for the camera!! Congrats on your NSV, the difference is amazing!

Sarah, you look really pretty in that picture. I had my license renewed back in Feb and I took a new picture as well. I believe it might have been me that said I was finally lighter than my license weight. When I renewed I listed my goal on the new ID. Something to shoot for? ~Mandy

Sarah,

I renewed my license on Monday and my old license picture was taken at my highest weight. I was actually thrilled with my new picture. It is the only good picture I have ever taken and I have 3 less chins in it!!

Now I don't mind showing my license at all. Keep up the good work.

Did anyone ever hear this...my boss was saying that a paramedic once told her you should put your REAL weight on your drivers license, in the event of a accident and they have to give you meds based on your weight, they would go by the weight on your DL....makes sense in a way, but I am gonna DIE!!! LOL

hehe, thanks everyone! I know I was lying on the first license, and it was renewed 4 years later with the same info, so by then it was WAY wrong. now mine is accurate, but it wont be by the time I have to renew it again :)

My sisters found an old picture of me (one I actually use as my before picture) and they both say they can't believe I was every that big. I showed them my two licenses today (I have them both to use for changing my last name on all my stuff), and they were both shocked. hehe

We don't have our actual weight on the license here in TN but you have to put it down when you fill out your papers ,this time the lady that has to put it in the computer (while I stand right in front her) won't say " yeah right" when she types it in! , lol

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
