Question about Feet



Recommended Posts

Gosh I hate to even ask this question because it seems silly but for those that have lost quite a bit of weight did you find that your shoe size changed at all? The reason I ask is several years ago my brother lost quite a bit of weight and he made the comment that he went down one shoe size. I didnt know if he was kidding or not. So can I look forward to shrinking feet or not? Thanks

Makes sense to me. I know my feet were a narrow 9 in High School and then averaged at a 10 for many years. Now I'm an 11 wide!!!

How cool to think of wearing "pretty" shoes again!

Hi Siyah

Mine are a 11 wide also. I travel a lot for work and its such a pain to pack more shoes because they take up so much room in the suitcase. Gosh I would be so nice to wear something smaller....even one size smaller would be great. Good luck on your weight loss journey. I hope to have my band sometime with in the next couple of months. Just trying to learn all I can...

Yep, feet shrinkage and cuter shoes is a definite plus! I was a nine wide and am presently a 8 1/2 normal.

Yep, and I can now wear some non-wide width shoes. It's on of those cool things that I didn't even think about.

      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.
