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!

      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.
