Does anyone know if it's ok to wear heels 3 to 4 weeks post op? I am not sure and would like to go back to wearing heels for work but I am not sure since my incision is still a bit open.

I am not sure, but at about 5 weeks out I felt good as new and was able to wear heels.

I wore 5 inch heels about 3 weeks PO. I had no complications after surgery and my body felt pretty normal by week 2.

Wear them around the house for a few hours first, then see how you feel afterward. Just listen to your body...it will tell you if its ready or not. Take some cute flats with you to work just in case. Good luck!

The one big "downside" (if you could even call it that :) ) was I lost about 1/2 a shoe size since surgery.... making many of my shoes kinda big. High heels that dont fit well can be floppy and downright dangerous.

I am betting by the time I hit goal, I may be a full size down. Im gonna miss my old shoes but LOVE my new ones!!!

I guess everything shrinks! Feet too!

So true. I'm 30 pounds down and my clogs for work are flopping off of my feet. They're expensive, but I don't care. Bring it on!

Thank you all! You have been very helpful. I have been with flats and sneakers since my surgery. I like wearing my heels to work and I look forward to my feet shrinking so I can have more of a selection when it comes to heels.

      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.
