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 :)

I sure hope so! I'm a size 12 now & it's hard finding shoes, I'd love to have smaller feet =)

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

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
