It is so funny that you brought this up! I bought a pair of duty shoes (white nurses shoes) about 2 years ago. I didn't try them on at all. They were same style and size as the work shoes I was currently wearing. When I got home and put them on to go to work, they KILLED my feet they were so small! I said bad words about the company changing the style, skimping on the size, etc. Now that I am down 64 pounds since my surgery, I find that I can get them on quite comfortably! In fact I wore them to work the other night for the first time. I never thought of my feet as "FAT", but obviously I have lost some fat in my feet as well as other places! I am still a size ten shoe, but wow, do they ever fit better!

My friend who is 1 year out and down 100 pounds went from an 11 to a 9!

A lot of my shoes are feeling big on me. I've been a 8.5-9, but expect to be at 7.5-8 when all is said and done. That's where I was many moons ago. The problem now is I don't want to buy new shoes if my feet might get smaller too!

      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.
