when i gained weight my feet got bigger. do feet get "skinnier" or smaller after you lose the weight? i heard after pregnancy people don't tend to lose the increased foot size when they return to normal weight. I was just wondering though if other people had experience with this and comments on it.

Yep....I went to put on some high heals the other day and sure enough the didn't fit. I never even thought about my feet getting smaller. Oh well...I will just add that to the shopping list. Looks like I went from a size 9.5 to an 8.5

i had huge feet with the extra weight. they were very painful as well. it was Fluid, the dr tried to change my b/p meds with a diuretic added and it made me ill. so, i had to put up with my feet, which were really gross as well as being painful. i had lapband surgery and within a week the feet were back to their normal size, and looking better than they had for nearly 20 years. the pain has nearly gone as well. i hope this helps you. i dont know how much swelling in feet is due to fluid with everyone else but it was fluid with me.

      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.
