Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

OK...so one of the things I am most looking look forward to post-op (surgery is Aug. 28th) is wearing boots.

After more than 30 years of being overweight and more than 20 trucking up 3 flights of stairs in my parents house, my calves don't fit into "regular" knee-high boots. I just want to fit and buy and wear a pair of boots that actually zip up all the way and maybe even, dare I say it...can tuck a pair of jeans into!

Have any of you post-op ladies acheived my dream yet? Just looking for a little Wednesday optimism...

I finally found a pair at Torrid last fall that fit around my calves and had enough give to wear with a pair of jeans tucked in. I wore them maybe 10 times and I'm sure they won't fit again when cool weather rolls around. I'm ok with that, just not all the money I feel like I'm losing. lol However, I am excited to find some new boots this fall or winter because I know I will have plenty more options. I may still have to buy wide calf boots but not even those fit me before. (I have pretty muscular legs too.) Not only more clothing stores to shop at but more shoe stores too! Yay!

I finally was able to buy Uggs!! They are even big around my calves with my jeans tucked in. But I have lost a shoe size since last winter so I'm sure I'll need a new pair.

Oh yes! I can't wait for heels! I have so many in my closet I'm ready to bust out again... I just hope they still fit!

I bought a pair of boots with 4" heels (I'm 6'2") and I feel AMAZING in them--so I say GO FOR IT! I can't wait until it's cool enough to wear them again this year. :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        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!
