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

      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.
