Let's talk Feet...



Recommended Posts

I have really wide feet and don't even bother looking in ordinary shoe shops anymore :cry

Have any of you had your feet shrink either in width or size as the pounds have dropped away?

It would be nice to think there is a chance of finding some really trendy shoes that fit as time goes by...

I have just begun my "banded journey", but with just 24 lbs gone, my shoes are getting more loose. My friend had gastric bypass last year and she lost 2 shoe sizes as well as going from wide to "regular". She can wear the "cute" shoes too. I'm with you. I want to get rid of the grannie shoes I have and get something sexier. Can't wait! Let's do it!

Now I wear an 11 or 12 wide. When I've lost weight before, and before I got fat, I wore a 10.

Man, that is what I am hoping for too. I've read several posts about people having their feet shrink some or become more narrow - so there is hope!

Yep, I think everything shrinks, even the feet!

I started out in a regular 10 and even though I can still fit a lot of my 10's, I can also fit some 9 and 9 1/2.

9 1/2 to 10 (preferably wide, but could squeeze into some regulars) before, I'm down 55~60 lbs, and I can wear most 8 1/2's. I still get some wides, but many aren't. The shoes that I wore for my sister's wedding a week ago were 8 regs.

I'm in "Next size Violin Case" now but I hope that eventually I will be able to at least fit in some nice 10 1/2 or maybe even 10. WHooho- that would be soooo cool! :clap2:

For sure they do- I was a 8 1/2 & when I tried some shoes this past fall nothing fit! I had to go buy 2 pair both were 9 1/2. It seemed more in my length BUT couldn't have been true b/c now I am almost 40 pds down & now my old shoes are fitting again! thank goodness!

      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.
