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!

      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.
