Is it bad that I want to "lose" my drivers licence so I can take a picture 90 lbs lighter?

Well if it's supposed to *look* like you, and you no longer look like the person in your driver's licence photo, it's your civic duty to update the picture!

That's the best excuse I can come up with :D

I am totally planning on getting a new license when I am done losing the weight. I hate my picture.

yes it is bad, don't lose your license, get a picture now and then a new one when you drop more weight.

Wunderlust76. . . it would be a really good idea to keep it because it's a constant reminder of where you came from. Plus the comments are cool too. I never changed mine and am glad i didn't. . . love to hear the comments and the reminder of how i DONT ever want to look like again!

People that ask to see your license do not even look at the pics. They are looking for name and address to match. So disillusioning. I would dread going to the DMV to get a new license. Such a hassle. You look awesome and you know. So keep it up. ;)

California DMV is cheap. they renewed my license and refused to take a new picture a few years ago. Now I will go back in and say that they refused my credit card because the picture no longer looks like me. We'll see how THAT flies.

Just go get a new one. You'll have to pay for it but just do it. No biggie.

It happened to me once, someone said "That's not you.". Uh, yes...... But I was about 20kg heavier than in the photo..... Embarrassing.

I'm pretty sure that if you go in wanting to give the DMV money, they'll take your picture and renew you license as often as you want to pay for it.

I say go do it....and enjoy! Oh, and when they ask you why.....BRAG ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS!!

Congrats!

      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!
