I am sure most of you ladies are wide calfed like me. ....I haven't been sleeved as of yet. I took the liberty to order some sexy boots off of a website and when I finally got em they didn't fit! I am so dissapointed but my question is...does your calves get smaller?? Help!

Yes, your calves should get smaller, but you might also lose a shoe size or 2. You probably should've waited on the sexy boots, but hopefully they'll fit great soon.

My calves are huge! Even the wide calfed boots are too small for me. I really hope I lose in my calves, but I'm sure they will always be bigger than I'd like. I am one week out and plan on taking my measurements monthly. I am most excited to measure my calves and thighs.

So funny. I noticed today that my shoes are too big! They fell off me today. Never thought my feet would lose weight.

I think normal boots are 14' to 16' inches. Fiting into knee high boots is one of my goals.

I am the queen of wide calfs. Even wide calf boots aren't wide enough. My right calf (which strangely is slightly larger) was a whopping 23 inches at my biggest. I've lost 71lbs now and I'm already down 2 inches in my calves! So happy about this! Intact the only boots I have that had for me for a long time (from Torrid, with an elastic panel on them that I completely stretched out way beyond what I should have) those are really big on me now and fall down my leg! So you will definitely lose in your calf!

They definitely get smaller, mine used to be huge and I was never able to wear ugg boots or sexy boots but now I can wear anything that goes up my calves. I actually have a bunch of extra room in my boots now it's wonderful. I've also noticed that my feet are smaller now too. I went down a shoe size, never really thought I had fat feet but apparently I did.

        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.

      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
