Smaller Shoe Size?



Recommended Posts

After losing weight with the band, has anyone lost so much they went down a shoe size? I was a 11WW before pregnancy and am a 12WW now. I have huge arches and a venous insufficiency in my left leg, so my left foot is always swollen. I'd love it if after losing weight I could actually find a pair of sandals to fit over my swollen feet!

A guy in my support group says he lost a full shoe size. I thought he was just pulling my leg. Then I heard it from another person. I guess it can happen. Good luck to you!

I have also lost a full shoe size. Only my sneakers still fit because I can tie them tight.

No:((( I have genetically bad feet. I think I am the only woman in America who does'nt like shoe shopping. They never fit. My easyspirit walking sneakers are 8.5 WW. Most other brands I have to go to 9 or 9 1/2 W. My dad took WW and my grandmother WWW. I've lost 170 pounds so you'd think I'd see thinner feet by now.

Nope, before a 10 now a 10... But shoes fit better now and I can fit into different kinds now. Before I only wore tennis shoes and sandals.

      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.
