I've gone down at least a size. My size 10 shoes keep falling off! I had a lot of cute ones, too. :(

Upside is, now that I'm at a more reasonable size (and maybe down even more? Please?), I can find even cuter shoes since shoe manufacturer's don't realize that women's feet come in all shapes and sizes. I mean, even Jackie Kennedy wore a size 10! That's gotta count for something!

My mom had the bypass 30 years ago and she went down two shoe sizes.

Yes, I am six weeks post op, and my size 11s are flopping off my feet, 10 are fitting okay. I wear a 10.5, but I buy 11, probably will not be able to wear any (11) in the near future.

Shoes AND contact lenses

I was wondering about contact lenses. I thought about asking here on the forum and never did.

I just got new contacts at the beginning of the year. Recently, they don't fit right. I've been wearing contacts for years and never had as many problems as I have with my current ones. I was wondering if maybe my eyeballs became smaller because of my weight loss. I've considered going back to my eye doctor to check the fit. I've hesitated though because I bought a year's supply, which I have never done before. What will I do with the other three boxes if my size changed? LOL!

I went from a size 9W to an 8 1/2 regular at 3 months out - All the seriously cute heels I had from before I got pregnant that I haven't been able to wear since I was about 6mo pregnant now fit my feet again! COMFORTABLY! Unfortunately my body isn't used to heels anymore so I have to ease my way back into them, but I can't freaking wait to wear them all the time again! I effing love my heels!

Yes, definitely smaller and thinner. Went from a 12W to an 11.5M (hard to find, so I wear a lot of tight 11s and loose 12Ms now).

I didn't think to check and just quit wearing them, thinking that it was an allergy problem or something. They would just pop out. When I went for my regular eye appt. the doc commented that my eyeball size had shrunk!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
