I wore a pair of heels last night that I haven't worn in 6 months. My feet had so much room it was hard to walk. Made it through the night but will buy a new pair

In addition to the foot fat loss there's also the cant reach the gas petal syndrome.. My husband and I alternate use of our work car and he's asked me recently why I keep moving the seat around... Apparently I've lost back fat or bottom of the foot fat or something it seems like I'm having to scoot closer and closer to the steering wheel to reach the gas

This is going to sound weird but I noticed myself gaining weight by my shoes. I had a job where I would stand for 9 hours straight. I bought shoes before the job and as I gained weight, and the weight burdened my feet and caused swelling I had to buy shoes in a size 8 1/2, a whole size larger.

I can definitely tell a difference on my feet from when I was overweight to now when I'm obese. I'm looking forward to losing weight and wearing my high heels again. And buying my first pair of thigh high boots. :P

It's crazy to think of all the the new things we have to buy to dress out new bodies. We can't even wear the same shoes.

Holy cow me too! I've lost 85 lbs and gone from 9-9.5 to 8-9. 90% of my old shoes no longer fit - too loose all the way around.

Also noticed that at the end of the day, my feet aren't swelling out of my shoes. It's good!!

But I agree... This is an expensive journey!!

I have a nice pair running shoes. Since I bought them I have lost 115 pounds. They seem really big now and when I run my feet move around.

Anyone else experience this? When I asked someone if its normal she looked at me like I was crazy.

Omg u all are giving me hope that after surgery my 10.5 shoe size can drop to a 9-9.5 (that would be ideal, a single digit shoe size):)

Haha :). It's true! Probably everyone will foot weight with the surgery. I've only lost 50 lbs and already can barely keep my size 9's on. I think I'm actually a 8.5 or maybe even 8 now...time for a shopping trip! Who's paying?

I have lost a shoe size as well, went from a 9 to an 8, I even tried on a 7.5 that fit me:) I have a ton of shoes and they all are flopping off of my feet, I have bought some insoles and are trying them out to see if they will help them fit as I don't want to get rid of some of my favorite shoes!

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
