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.

      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.
