DMV/New Picture/NSV



Recommended Posts

after 100 lb weight loss, I wanted new picture for drivers license

talked to clerk about my wt loss and WLS - he told me he had gastric bypass 5 years ago (small world)- and except for about 5-10 lbs he sometimes teeters with, he's doing great (water, Protein et al - doing terrific) - he lost 170 lbs and he looked great

even though clerk didn't have the sleeve, its nice to see someone "long term" post WLS - continue to be successful

i have heard some people do gain all their weight back, i guess that can happen to any of us :angry: (not to me of course!!! ;) )

he called other clerk over, showed my old license to her - they both couldn't believe it was me!!! :)

If i do say so myself ( and I do!!!) my new picture is pretty darn good - all modesty aside i DO look great :lol: - feel great too ;)

I agree that you are an inspiration to us all. Also, getting a new driver's license is an NSV I hadn't even considered yet--thanks for giving me one more thing to look forward to!

Congrats Grammy :) That's probably the only way you'd get me to a DMV voluntarily prior to renewal LOL

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
