Driver's license, small victory



Recommended Posts

So funny!

Just moved from UT to NV and got my license last week. This is the first time ever that my actual weight is less than what I gave!

So glad you posted this thread.

Congrats!

Congrats. I never bothered to "correct" my weight so mine is not even close but I will be just as thrilled when I hit it.

So how often will you demand they change it now? Every 20 pounds?:biggrin2:

This thread just made me realize what mine states. 180

As of today, it is also no longer a lie. The scale was 179 this morning. I remember vividly the day the young man was typing the info and asked me my weight because it stated 135. I said 180 and it was over 200.

Congratulations!!

The weight on my license is really way off and what's even worse is that the picture is too. Not only was my face thinner, but my hair was a different color. :biggrin:

My license doesn't expire for another two years so I probably will just wait it out, by then the weight on my license should be accurate if not over-stated, and my face should match the picture even if my hair doesn't... well... except for being a little bit older!

In my state they don't list the weight on your license. But apparently the person issuing the license enters a weight category on the computer by "sizing you up" and guessing your weight by looking at you.

I just renewed my license the other day and the woman commented that she changed my weight category because it was obvious that I was not in the highest category anymore. When I got that license I was close to 300lbs. I was very flattered when she said she put me in the around 160lb category as I'm still a good 35lbs above that! I let her keep it there since that's my goal weight anyway!

      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!
