I wish! I'm a 12, and I'm not losing any length so far :( I'd love to drop down to an 11...

I have narrow to med feet. Also in the double digits. I wonder if people are losing length or width? I've noticed that my friends have lost width but so far no one I know personally has lost any length.

Wow, I would love to lose some length but I think if I do it won't be too drastic because when I was a healthy weight I still had big feet. Goes with the territory when you're almost 6 ft. tall. At least they have cute shoes in larger sizes.

I can't imagine what women did even 30 years ago.

I have been wearing mostly sandals this summer, I noticed them getting looser and looser, in fact my toes now come out the front when I walk. I tried on a pair of size 8 heels and a few other pairs of size 8 shoes that I had and they are all too big. I am now wearing a size 7 :)

All my shoes are to big and my flip flops are out of the question. I tried wearing them last week and I kept tripping and falling out of them. Can't wait to go shoe shopping and boot shopping in the fall. I will finally be able to get boots that don't have to stretch just to fit around my calf's. I actually blew out a zipper in a pair of boots trying to fight them around my calf!! When that happened my best friend and I were laughing so hard we had tears and makeup rolling down our faces.

Not only am I wearing smaller shoes, I can wear strappy heels! Wearing heels in general is awesome, but ones that I can actually reach down and buckle (yay!) that don't cut into fat pads is simply AMAZING! Looking forward to winter and the possibility of being able to zip up boots!!!!!!

Yes!! I noticed this last night actually. I'm almost 5 weeks post op' date=' 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. =)[/quote']

Oh no, that means I'm going to lose my strappy sandals. Nooooooooo!!! Oh wait, that means I will have to go shoe shopping soon, all better now. Lol

      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.
