My feet have shrunk... Before surgery I was a 8 my shoes are all getting big - last shoe shopping adventure I bought 3 pair and they were all 7 or 7.5. So my feet have shrunk with my body!

I almost immediately went from a 12w to an 11. I have had problems with swollen feet and "cankles" for years, that seems to be mostly gone now.

Hi, My feet are the only thing that haven't shrunk in the 6 1/2 months since I was sleeved. I have flat feet always have so that could be why.

I have flat feet too, I know I used to carry a lot of Water weight in my feet and hands... I think this could be it. I notice some heavy people have very slim feet and hands, I never did at my higher weights.....

Hi I am new to VStalk. I desire so much to get the VSG. Going to a seminar tomorrow. I am thrilled to know that I may loose weight in my big feet. I wore size 11 when I was 11 y.o. After having 5 children, I now wear size 13 (that's right, drag queen size). I can barely find wonderful shoes and I love, love shoes so much. So after reading comments, I am so hopeful about wearing at the most, a size 12, post surgery. Thank you all for being here as I move along in my weight loss journey. It is comforting to connect where others totally understand. It hasn't been the easiest discussing weight loss matters with my family. I am so excited to see the weight loss journey of others ... it inspire me so much.

      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.
