Have any of you noticed if you lost in your feet also? My mom lost like a whole shoe size one time so I was wondering if any of you have found that with the WLS. She was on a diet at the time.

Yes, I definitely lost in my feet. Not only did they shrink in length, but they also shrank in thickness(which is prob why they shrank in length). Many of my old comfy shoes are simply too big now. :)

I lost an entire size in my feet and went from a wide shoe to a medium width. Lost a whole closet full of shoes, but what I've gained is so much more. :)

My shoes are looser and I'm thrilled. Halfway through my pregnancy last year my work shoes (loafer style) wouldn't fit anymore. When I went back to work they still didn't fit and I was screaming and throwing them across the room. I was probably 2-3 months out til I could even get in them anymore. Now I'm a month out from surgery and can slip them on no problem!

I've definitly noticed my shoes get loser. I had put on some weight the year before surgery and my shoes had gotten too tight one me that i couldn't even wear them. I remember crying and feeling so badly and that was one of the things that pushed me to surgery. Any way those shoes fit loosely not even with thick socks!! And I'm hoping I lose even more. I've always ha extra big and wide feet (12 or 13 extra wide) so it would be great to be able to fit into a regular 11 one day! I think I would pass out haha

When I had my original surgery (evil band) 5yrs ago I went from a 9 to a 7 1/2 shoe size lol. I still wear a 7 1/2 even with the weight I gained back. Hoping not to have to get new shoes again this time lol

I thought I was going to get away without my feet shrinking, but in the last couple weeks I have noticed that my feet have gotten narrower. The shoe size is the same, but all my shoes and sandals are way to loose. Add new shoes to go with a whole new wardrobe. It gets expensive, but gee, what a wonderful problem to have!!!

My feet have shrank about a 1/2 size. ALL my shoes are to stretched out, and I had a lot of shoes. But its all good. Packed them all up and sent them on there way!. I have already cleaned out my closet three times, and I'm only 5 weeks out.

God I love it:)

Lots of change in my feet. My shoes that were too tight before are now almost falling off of my feet.

My shoes are big. I love heels. I have heels I couldn't wear anymore bc I was too heavy and they were too tight. Oh yeah, im back in them now. Some of them are big so I just add a dr scholls cushion inside and they fit better and feel better.

      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.
