Sorry men this probably won't be a very entertaining thread for you...

Ladies! After you had the VSG were you able to wear high feels with more comfort? I have to say I'm crossing my fingers that once I have the VSG and weigh starts to drop it'll be easier. Right now I put them on and they feel a little tight and within about 30 minutes of walking in them my feet start to hurt.

Don't you have to do it slowly so your feet can adjust to the heels? I think of when I got my first pair of Birkenstocks that it took me about a week for my feet to get use to the arch supports....love them now. I'm looking forward to slowly getting into some 2-3" heels.

Oh yeah and my hubby who is 6'4 really appreciates the lift. I'm only 5'5.

Yup. Walked around all last weekend in 4 inch heels. My calves ache some, but did fine. I have a thing for heels, so I'm excited with my loss so far-I can wear my sexy shoes.

Yep, can certainly wear them again, I missed them so much. What a pleasure to put a pair of heel/platforms on and for them to feel comfy. So Thankful for this surgery.

I don't have any that fit right now, but it looks like it'll work!

This is an NSV I am really hoping to see become reality in my life. I love heels but right now I wear them across the living room and my feet can't take it.... Oh I really hope this one comes true for me because it would open up a world of shoe possibilities!

I'll cross my fingers that it comes true for the both of us.!

I was able to wear heels again at 4 weeks out. Before then I always had to travel with two pairs of shoes, a pair of flats to change into. Now I wear them all day with no issues.

      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.
