I have a question. Has anyone's shoe size gotten smaller with weight loss?

Yes!! I noticed this last night actually. I'm almost 5 weeks post op, and have been just wearing flip flops lately in this hot weather. Got dressed up in my heels, and my foot kept sliding out of my shoe. I had tried on 4 pairs, and all the same...loose. Although it was a bummer not to have shoes to match my outfit, I laughed so hard out of joy, I'm starting to see the changes in my body and despite the pain and struggle in the beginning, the sleeve is totally worth it. =)

Yay!! So happy for you!!! I just wanted to wait to make sure I didn't go out and buy new shoes and then have them be too small in a couple of months!!

Oh yes. All my shoes are too loose. My sandals slip around on my feet and the converse etc will go flying off if I kick my foot.

Me too, I went down a 1/2 size. Im actually back to my normal size 8, I had gone up as the pounds got put on. So there are lots of shoes in my closet that I can wear again. Joy :)

I noticed this too today when my ugly stepsister foot slipped easily into Cinderella's slipper!

Oh yes. It's another great benefit I hadn't even considered. I was a 10 wide that was usually too tight. Always flats and rubber soles, clogs, etc. I couldn't wear nice heels because they didn't fit and would have looked ridiculous on my large body. I had a blast today trying on tons of shoes in an 8.5 and 9! Pointy toes and stiletto heels! Who knew??

I was an 11 extra wide. Now I'm a 10.5 wide. I'm hoping I will ditch the wide width shoes altogether.

Was a size 8 1/2 to 9 now I am a solid 8 and will probably go down another 1/2 size eventually. :)

      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.
