So my birthday was a few days after my surgery so I never got to really Celebrate or anything, so I decided to treat myself to a gift. I didn't want to buy clothes just because I know I won't be able to wear it long, so I decided on an awesome pair of shoes. Here they are. I love them.

Ha Ha...true. Mine have gone down about a half size. I put on my dress shoes one day & my heals kept slipping out! Yes, they are nice shoes! It's great that you treated yourself.

WOW , I never ever ever EVER considered my feet would shrink, never crossed my mind.... OOPS!, shoes are the one thing I STILL have been buying "because I will still be able to wear them after I loose weight".... SHHHHHHHHH, don't tell my husband this info.... on to earrings or are my ears going to shrivel up like dried prunes too?

I think the shoe issue is less of an issue for lower BMI folks than higher. My shoe size hasn't changed and I'm nearly at goal. But my calf size has so boots fit nicely now where as before I had to wear them under jeans and not leave them zipped up all the way LOL

I put on a pair of boots I picked up in Italy maybe gad 15 years ago (good gravy it's been that long) and they fit nifty keen just as they did when I was a size 2 so many years ago LOL

butterfly_gal

longgggggggg time ago when i was a little newbie (or should i say big!!!)....... :D

someone made a comment about their shoe sizes getting smaller

i thought, how silly, are you kidding me??????????

boy was i surprised when i realized its true!!!!!

you are a smart "cookie" :lol:

treating yourself to lovely boots, shoes instead of clothes you will grow out of!!!!!

now you can go and kick some a_ ssssss

("bad word police" are around and they don't like you to say certain words !!!)

watch out for "them" they are everywhere :lol:

in the past you might have rewarded yourself with some goodies (of course that would be pretty silly now!! ;)

hope your recovery is going nicely :)

take care

happy belated b'day :)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
